Champions League Final 2025‑26 Moves to 18:00 for Family‑Friendly Timing
UEFA announced that the 2025‑26 Champions League final will kick off at 18:00 instead of the usual 21:00, with the match set for Budapest’s Puskás Arena. The earlier start is intended to make the event more accessible for families and younger viewers.
Organisers said the change will allow a broader daytime programme of activities and boost local tourism. The new time slot also promises higher global TV audience figures.
Fans anticipate a richer overall experience thanks to the expanded pre‑match festivities.
