09 Feb, 13:35

Like the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League tournament will be the second time it is played under the new format introduced last season, where 36 teams qualify for the league phase.

The 2025/26 Conference League campaign will be the fifth time UEFA has organised the tournament, and the current winners are Chelsea, who thrashed La Liga side Real Betis 4-1 in Stadion Miejski. However, the Blues will not participate in the Europa League next season, a promotion given to every Conference League winner, because they finished in a higher place in the Premier League and, as a result, will participate in the Champions League instead.


However, the 2024/25 Conference League final is now behind us, so every concerned eye in this tournament is on the next final, and below are some key details about the 2025/26 Conference League final.

When is the Conference League final 2026?

The 2025/26 UEFA Conference League final will take place on May 27, 2026, at the Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Germany. The Red Bull Arena has a capacity of 47,800 and has been RB Leipzig’s home stadium since 2010. The 2025/26 Conference League final will be the first time that the Red Bull Arena has hosted a European Cup final. It will be a special night for the Leipzig fans, we can assume, and the same for the fans of both teams that will participate in the final.
