The soccer world descends upon the Hungarian capital of Budapest for the 2026 Champions League final, as holders Paris Saint-Germain lock horns with Premier League champions Arsenal.
It’s a rare collision of capital cities on this stage, as the London-based Gunners attempt to lift this trophy for the very first time. They’ve already enjoyed the euphoria of reclaiming the domestic title after 22 years, and while Mikel Arteta’s men have failed to win hearts and minds, they’d be discussed as an undeniably great team if victory is earned on Saturday.
Bypassing PSG will be no mean feat, especially when you consider the Parisians’ outstanding recent record against English opposition, which includes a two-legged win over Arsenal in last season’s semifinals.
Luis Enrique‘s side are feared for their attacking might, but they’ve ground out victories in this competition to reach the showpiece event for a second consecutive year. They’re chasing history in Budapest, with only one team ever retaining their Champions League crown in modern times.
We’re set for a captivating battle between resilience and romance on Saturday evening. Here’s how you can watch the 2026 Champions League final around the world.
