Parisian supporters had been thrilled to witness PSG's second straight appearance in the UEFA Champions League final right in the heart of Paris.

Champions League: what time and which channel to watch Paris Saint-Germain's final?
Will Paris Saint-Germain clinch a second star? To find out, join us on Saturday, May 30, 2026, for an extraordinary Champions League final against Arsenal. What time does it start, and which channel will broadcast the match? [Read more]
The timing is lousy! It could have gone differently if there weren’t so many events packed into the same night. On May 30, beyond the final, the Roland-Garros tennis tournament will also be on, but so will Aya Nakamura’s concert at the Stade de France, Damso’s show at Paris La Defense Arena, and Bouss’s gig in Bercy!

The Paris police prefecture has therefore said it is "opposed" to this addition, but fans will still be able to experience the final alongside other supporters—whether in the numerous bars that will be broadcasting it or at the Parc des Princes, which is sticking with last year’s plan, with giant screens in the middle of the stadium and around 45,000 supporters able to sing together in the hope of a repeat of 2025!
