## Appointment of the host
UEFA's Executive Committee met in Tirana, Albania, and appointed the hosts for several finals at once: the 2027 [UEFA Champions League](https://www.edgepedia.org/uefa-champions-league) final to the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, the 2027 UEFA Women's Champions League final to the National Stadium in Warsaw, and the 2026 [UEFA Super Cup](https://www.edgepedia.org/uefa-super-cup) to Salzburg, Austria.[2](https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/029d-1eb2cecb8955-8fa1e427770d-1000/) The decision was announced on 11 September 2025.[2](https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/029d-1eb2cecb8955-8fa1e427770d-1000/) Under the competition regulations, the date and stadium of the final are chosen by the Executive Committee.[5](https://rfef.es/sites/default/files/2026-02/UEFA_WUCL_2025_2026.pdf)
Spain had also put Barcelona's Camp Nou forward as a candidate for the 2027 Women's Champions League final, but the match went to Warsaw.[6](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/competition/where-is-the-champions-league-final-everything-you-need-to-know)
## The venue
The National Stadium opened in January 2012, ahead of men's UEFA EURO 2012, during which it staged five games including the opening match, in which co-hosts Poland drew 1-1 with Greece, and the semi-final between Germany and eventual runners-up Italy.[1](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/finals/) It has since hosted the 2015 [UEFA Europa League](https://www.edgepedia.org/uefa-europa-league) final, won by Sevilla for their fourth title in the competition, and the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, in which Real Madrid beat Atalanta 2-0.[1](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/finals/) It is the regular home of the Poland men's national team.[1](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/finals/)
The stadium stands on the eastern banks of the Vistula in the [Praga Południe](https://www.edgepedia.org/praga-po-udnie) district, on the site of the former Tenth Anniversary Stadium. Its red-and-white facade resembles a waving Polish flag, and it was designed by JSK Architekci, the company also behind the Municipal Stadium in Wrocław.[1](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/finals/)
## Road to the final
The 2026/27 season is the second under the format introduced in 2025/26, which replaced the previous group stage with a single 18-team league phase in which each team plays six different opponents, three at home and three away, drawn from three seeding pots.[3](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/competitionformat/) The top four sides qualify directly for the quarter-finals, teams finishing 5th to 12th enter two-legged knockout phase play-offs, and teams ranked 13th to 18th are eliminated.[3](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/competitionformat/) From the quarter-finals onwards the competition follows the traditional two-legged knockout format leading to the final at a neutral venue selected by UEFA.[3](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/competitionformat/)
The league phase runs from 22/23 September to 16 December 2026, with the knockout phase play-offs in February, quarter-finals in late March and early April, and semi-finals on 1/2 and 8/9 May 2027.[3](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/competitionformat/) The eighteen league-phase teams include Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, OL Lyonnes, Paris SG, and Real Madrid, among others.[3](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/competitionformat/)
If the final is level after normal time, two 15-minute periods of extra time are played, and a penalty shoot-out decides the winner if the scores remain level.[1](https://www.uefa.com/womenschampionsleague/finals/)
## Context and recent finals
