The 2027 UEFA Women's Champions League final will be the final match of the 2026–27 UEFA Women's Champions League, the 26th season of Europe's premier women's club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 18th season since it was renamed from the UEFA Women's Cup to the UEFA Women's Champions League. It will be played on 21, 22 or 23 May 2027.

The winners will qualify to enter the league phase of the 2027–28 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).

Host selection

On 17 May 2023, UEFA opened the bidding process for the final, which was held in parallel with that of the 2026 final. Interested bidders could bid for either one or both of the finals. The proposed venues had to include natural grass and be ranked as a UEFA category four stadium, with a gross capacity of 30,000 to 60,000 preferred. The bidding timeline was as originally planned as follows:[1]

The UEFA Executive Committee was originally to appoint the host during their meeting in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, on 22 May 2024.[2] However, as Germany was already appointed as hosts for the 2026 UEFA Conference League final and 2027 UEFA Europa League final, the bid of Stuttgart could not be considered. Therefore, a new bidding procedure will be opened to determine the host.[3]
