The match will kick off at 5pm BST (12pm ET), three hours earlier than in previous years, a change Uefa implemented to enhance the overall fan experience, improve logistics, and reach a wider global audience, especially younger viewers. This final presents Arsenal with an opportunity for revenge, as Paris Saint-Germain defeated them 3-1 on aggregate in last season's semi-finals before securing the title. For the first time since the Champions League rebrand in 1992, the final will not be available free-to-air in the UK, with exclusive coverage on TNT Sports 1, while viewers in the US can watch on CBS and Paramount+. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side enters the final having recently won the Premier League title, aiming to complete a historic double, with The Killers confirmed to headline the pre-match entertainment.
