The 2026 UEFA Women's Champions League final will be the final match of the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Champions League, the 25th season of Europe's premier women's club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 17th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Women's Cup to the UEFA Women's Champions League. It will be played at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway,[1] on 23 May 2026.[2]
The winners will qualify to enter the league phase of the 2026–27 UEFA Women's Champions League, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League through their league performance (in which case the access list will be rebalanced).
