European football’s top club competition enters its 69th edition. The final will be played at one of the game’s iconic venues.
The 69th edition of Europe’s premier club competition, the 32nd since it was renamed the Champions League is underway with the preliminary rounds now concluded and the group stage to begin on 19/20 September. The 32 teams will be eagerly awaiting their fate in this evening’s group stage draw in Monaco.
This will be the last time that the tournament is played in its current format. In July, UEFA announced a new, expanded competition which will feature 36 teams starting from 2024/25.
Where will the 2024 Champions League final be played?
The final will be held at Wembley, in London on Saturday 1 June 2024. The historic English ground has held a grand total of seven European Cup/Champions League finals - five of those at the original stadium and the two most recent (2011 and 2013) at the rebuilt stadium, which opened in 2007.
Wembley had originally been slated to host the 2023 final but due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 final during the Covid-19 pandemic, all of the final hosts were shifted back a year. That meant that last year’s final between Manchester City and Inter Milan was played at Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul with London instead hosting the 2024 final.
It will be the ninth time that England has hosted the final - the 2003 final between AC Milan and Juventus was held at Old Trafford in Manchester.
