UEFA has confirmed the venues for the 2028 and 2029 Champions League finals, with the Munich Football Arena and Barcelona's Camp Nou selected to host the next two showpiece events.

The UEFA Executive Committee made the decision at its meeting in Thessaloniki on Tuesday, with Munich awarded the 2028 final and Camp Nou chosen for the 2029 decider.

The decision was part of a wider announcement covering several major UEFA finals, with the governing body also confirming hosts for the Europa League, Conference League and Women's Champions League finals across 2028 and 2029.

Munich to host Champions League final again in 2028

The Munich Football Arena will stage the Champions League final for the third time after previously hosting the 2012 and 2025 showpieces.

Paris Saint-Germain won the 2025 final in Munich, defeating Inter Milan 5-0, while the 2012 final saw Chelsea defeat Bayern Munich on penalties.

Munich was the only declared bidder for the 2028 Champions League final, with the German venue now set to welcome Europe's biggest club fixture again.

The 2028 final will follow the 2027 showpiece at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid.

Camp Nou wins 2029 Champions League final

Barcelona's Camp Nou has been selected to host the 2029 Champions League final, marking the return of the competition's showpiece to the stadium 30 years after the famous 1999 final.

Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 in that match after scoring twice in stoppage time, while the 2029 final is expected to take place at the redeveloped stadium, which is planned to have a capacity of around 105,000.

Barcelona's bid was selected ahead of Wembley, which had hoped to host the final for the fourth time since the Champions League era began, having previously staged the finals in 2011, 2013 and 2024.

Other UEFA final venues also confirmed

UEFA also settled the destinations for its other major club competition finals.

The 2028 Europa League final will be played at the National Arena in Bucharest, Romania, before moving to the National Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia, for the 2029 final.

The Conference League will head to Juventus Stadium in Turin for the 2028 final, with Budapest's Puskas Arena selected for the 2029 showpiece.

The Women's Champions League finals will also have new destinations, with Parc Olympic Lyonnais in Lyon-Decines hosting in 2028 before the National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff stages the 2029 final.

UEFA also confirmed that the 2028 Super Cup will take place at Astana Arena in Kazakhstan, while Amsterdam's Johan Cruyff Arena will host the 2027 edition.

FGG Says: New Camp Nou one of the biggest winners

UEFA's announcement gives European football a clear roadmap for some of its biggest finals over the next three seasons.

Munich and Camp Nou understandably dominate the headlines, but the wider list creates some interesting destinations. Bucharest and Belgrade will stage Europa League finals, while Turin and Budapest get Conference League showpieces.

The selection of Camp Nou is particularly significant given the scale of the redevelopment, while Munich is already a proven Champions League final venue.

With the 2027 final heading to Madrid, UEFA has now confirmed three consecutive Champions League final locations, giving supporters plenty of time to plan for some major European nights.
