How to buy UEFA Champions League Final tickets?

With the final matchup between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain now confirmed, all ticket distribution processes have kicked off.

There is a selection of ways you can secure your Champions League Final tickets:

  • Official Club Ballots: Arsenal and PSG have roughly 16,800 tickets each; Arsenal’s priority windows open today, May 7, while PSG is using a "Wave" system for loyal subscribers.
  • UEFA Resale Portal: If you missed the March lottery, the Official UEFA Resale Platform is the only safe way to buy face-value tickets returned by other fans.
  • Official Hospitality: For those with a larger budget (€3,500+), guaranteed seats are still available via the UEFA Hospitality portal, including premium lounge access.
  • Neutral Capacity: Outside of the 34,000 tickets for the finalists, the remaining seats at the Puskás Aréna were allocated to the UEFA public ballot and international football family.
  • Secondary Market: For last-minute tickets to secure your space in the final, look to secondary marketplaces like StubHub.

What is the UEFA Champions League ballot?

Since demand for the final is massive, UEFA does not sell tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. 

To keep things fair, UEFA uses a lottery (ballot) system for the general public.  

Here's everything you need to know:

Application Window

Fans typically apply for tickets through the official UEFA ticketing portal months in advance (the deadline for this year was March 19, 2026).  

The Draw

After the window closes, all valid applications are randomly ranked. 

Successful applicants are notified via email and given a strictly limited window to purchase their tickets (a maximum of two per person).  

Mobile Ticketing

All tickets are delivered exclusively via the UEFA Mobile Tickets app. 

This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized resale and ensure only genuine fans get through the gates.  

How much are UEFA Champions League match tickets?

UEFA Champions League ticket prices vary depending on several factors, including the venue, the stage of the competition and the opposition.

Frequently asked questions

Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for Champions League games directly through UEFA themselves. Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this season's edition.

You must visit the individual club’s sites for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there. Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches and demand often exceeds available allocation.

24 different clubs have reigned supreme since the inaugural addition of the European Cup in 1956 (known as the Champions League from the 1992/93 season), but these are the most successful sides in the competition’s history.
