PSG vs Arsenal: when and where to watch the 2026 UEFA Champions League final

Mark your calendars: the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal is set to kick off at 18:00 local time on Saturday, May 30, 2026. This year’s schedule marks a notable shift from previous editions, starting earlier than the usual 21:00 slot.

Where to watch the Champions League final live?

Football fans across France will have multiple options to catch the action. The match will be broadcast exclusively on Canal+ for subscribers, while M6 will air it free-to-air for all viewers. Special chartered flights have been arranged for those eager to experience the game live in Budapest.

Paris celebrations: what to expect?

For supporters gathered in Paris, Emmanuel Grégoire—despite being a PSG fan—has decided against setting up a public fan zone due to security concerns. Authorities have announced an unprecedented security deployment across the capital. However, fans can still join a celebratory gathering at the Parc des Princes if their team triumphs.

In a change from last year’s tradition, the Paris police prefecture has confirmed that no victory parade will take place on the Champs-Élysées even if PSG lifts the trophy. The focus remains on ensuring public safety during the event.
