Uefa, champions league: 18:00 start time for finals

UEFA has announced a major change in the Champions League finals schedule. Beginning this year, the final match will start at 18:00 instead of the traditional 20:45. This change aims to create a better experience for fans, teams, and host cities.

Earlier start time benefits

The earlier start time will allow fans to make use of public transportation more easily after the match, or they can continue celebrating in the city. This is expected to bring economic benefits to the host city. The goal is to create an inviting atmosphere for families and children to attend the biggest and most important club football match of the season.

18:00 Start confirmed

The 18:00 start time will be in place permanently from this year onwards. The change was made possible due to the positive response from fans and stakeholders to the 21:00 start time introduced in 2016. The UEFA hopes that the new schedule will make the Champions League more accessible and enjoyable for a wider audience, especially the younger generation.
