The 2019 UEFA Champions League Final will be the final match of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League, the 64th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 27th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League. It will be played at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid, Spain on 1 June 2019.
The winners will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League in the 2019 UEFA Super Cup. They will also qualify to enter the group stage of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League, and if they have already qualified through their league performance, the berth reserved will be given to the champions of the 2018-19 Austrian Bundesliga, the 11th-ranked association according to next season's access list.
In March 2018, UEFA announced that a fourth substitution will be allowed in extra time and that the number of substitutes has been increased from 7 to 12. The kick-off time has also been changed from 20:45 CEST to 21:00 CEST.
