Information about the festival
At the Champions League Festival, soccer is celebrated, lived and honored. The Olympiapark is ideal for such an event with plenty of space and good connections. The event takes place on Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz (formerly Coubertinplatz).
The festival starts on 29.05. for 4 days until 01.06. from 11 am. Admission is generally free, except for the Ultimate Champions Legends Tournament on May 30 in the SAP Garden, where you will need a ticket. But it's worth buying, because great soccer legends will be there. Tickets are available at this link.
The Champions League final will take place on 31.05. and will be broadcast at the festival via public viewing. Kick-off is at 21:00. Please remember that your bag must not be larger than A4. It is also important that everyone respects each other - regardless of which team you or the others are fans of. The focus is on consideration, respect and peaceful coexistence 😊

You can also use the ticket to redeem great discounts at over 100 discount partners, both for classic highlights and exciting insider tips. You can make particularly good savings as a group: up to 5 people can travel on one group ticket. Please note that the group must always travel together, as there is only one name on the ticket.
Please note: If you are traveling to Munich by plane, you will need a CityTourCard for the M-6 zone, as the airport is outside the city limits.
