Arsenal will take on PSG in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, 30 May, with supporters of both clubs set to descend on Budapest in time for kick-off at 18:00 local time.
While everyone involved with Arsenal and PSG will want to be in the Hungarian capital, logistically, it just isn't possible for everyone to be there. For starters, both clubs have only been allocated 16,824 tickets for the final, while ticket prices in neutral sections are difficult to justify for the working fan.
Naturally, the majority of Arsenal fans not in Budapest will be watching the final somewhere in London. Meanwhile, the majority of PSG fans will be tuning in in Paris. However, what about Arsenal fans living in Paris? Is there any way for these supporters to watch the match together safely? Let's take a look.
Where can Arsenal fans watch the Champions League final in Paris
The safest bet for Arsenal fans in Paris is to target English and Irish pubs in the centre of Paris. Effectively, the more ‘touristy' the pub, the safer you are going to be and the more likely you are to find other like-minded Gooners.
Some options include:
- Galway Irish Pub – 13 Quai des Grands Augustins, 75006 Paris, France
- The Long Hop – 25 Rue Frédéric Sauton, 75005 Paris, France
- The Bombardier – 2 Pl. du Panthéon, 75005 Paris, France
All three of those options are considered British and/or Irish pubs, which means that most PSG fans will avoid watching the final in them. While there are no guarantees that swathes of Arsenal fans will congregate in any of these pubs, you should at least be able to watch the match in peace.

Where should Arsenal fans in Paris avoid for the Champions League final?
PSG are putting on a screening at the Parc des Princes for the Champions League final, much in the same way that Arsenal are putting one on at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal should avoid buying tickets for the event at the Parc des Princes as it is for PSG supporters only.
The atmosphere during the Parc des Princes screening for the 2025 final looked spectacular, but it is not a place where away fans will be welcomed.
Aside from the Parc des Princes, there are several PSG pubs that should be avoided, including Pub Saint Germain. Generally, all bars in the Porte de Saint-Cloud area should be avoided, too, as this is where PSG ultras typically congregate for matches.
