UEL Final Stadium
On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, the UEFA Europa League final will take place at Beşiktaş Park (Tüpraş Stadyumu) in Istanbul, Turkey. German team SC Freiburg will play English team Aston Villa in the championship game. Beşiktaş JK’s home arena can accommodate slightly less than 44,000 people.

UEL Final Tickets
Traditionally, there are three ways to get tickets for the Europa League Final: directly from UEFA, through the official ticket websites of both competing teams, or both.
In order to handle the enormous demand as equally as possible, the governing body sells tickets for the UEFA Europa League Final via ballot rather than through conventional sales channels, much like high-demand matches in other club and international tournaments.
The broad public poll application period ran from March 16 to 20. Shortly after the deadline, UEFA used a lottery mechanism to assign seats.
While the safest ways for fans to buy tickets for the Europa League Final are through the official club portals and via UEFA, those who want to attend the major event might want to think about using secondary websites like StubHub, which might offer them the best chance of getting last-minute seats.
The official UEFA Europa League Final 2026 ticket prices are tiered and vary from €40 to €240.
- Fans First: €40 (fans of the finalists only)
- Category 3: €65
- Category 2: €160
- First category: €240
The two finalists, who each receive around 12,000 tickets, the general public through the UEFA ballot, and the “UEFA family,” which consists of sponsors and broadcasters, share the tickets.
For further details, keep an eye on the official ticket portals of the major teams and UEFA, as well as secondary resale websites like StubHub for the most recent availability.
