When is the Champions League final 2023?
The Champions League final 2023 takes place in Istanbul

The Champions League final 2023 is perhaps the biggest date in the footballing calendar – and certainly the one day in the year that UEFA want you glued to your TV.
This was always a midweek final but now there's no excuse to miss it, with the showpiece of the biggest game in club football coming on a Saturday night, long after the domestic action is over.
Domestically in England, the League Cup final is the opener in February, the FA Cup final is yet to come in May, while the other European finals of the Europa League and Europa Conference League are both scheduled for when the domestic season ends.
Everything you need to know about the Champions League final 2023
When is the Champions League final 2023?
The Champions League final 2023 takes place on June 10, 2023.
The match will likely take place at 8pm in the evening, UK time, just as it usually does.
Where will the Champions League final 2023 be played?
The Champions League final 2023 will be played at Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey.
Istanbul was originally scheduled to host the 2020 edition's final but in June 2020, the UEFA Executive Committee chose to relocate the final to Lisbon as part of a "final-eight tournament" consisting of single-match knockout ties played in two stadiums across the city, because of COVID-19. Bayern Munich ended up winning the tournament behind closed doors.
A year later, Istanbul was again pencilled in – but once more, the showpiece went to Portugal (this time Porto), with COVID-19 restricting travel. 2022's final was originally set for Saint Petersburg but was relocated to Paris, France, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The final of the Champions League was last hosted in Istanbul in 2005, when Liverpool famously overcame AC Milan on penalties, despite being 3-0 down at half-time.
