Where to watch psg vs arsenal champions league final in Paris and ile-de-France
All eyes will be on Paris this Saturday when the Paris Saint-Germain face Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League final. Kick-off is set for 6 p.m., and the French capital is bracing for a football fever that will sweep through bars, sports venues, and even shopping centers across the region.
With no official fan zone planned due to conflicting major events—such as concerts by Aya Nakamura at the Stade de France and Damso at Paris La Défense Arena, not to mention the Roland-Garros tournament—fans will need to find alternative spots to cheer on their team. Here’s where to catch the action in style.
Bars and pubs: the go-to spots for live football
While spontaneous fan zones have been ruled out, numerous bars across Paris are stepping up to broadcast the match. Some of these venues rarely screen football, making this a rare opportunity for fans to gather. However, most do not accept reservations, so arriving early—around 4 p.m.—is strongly advised to secure a seat.
Popular addresses include:
- Hall’s Beer Tavern (Châtelet, 1st arrondissement) – A classic choice for sports fans.
- Café Oz (Grands Boulevards, 9th arrondissement) – Known for its lively atmosphere and large screens.
- O’Sullivans (Pigalle, 18th arrondissement) – Another fan favorite with multiple locations, including Belushi’s at Gare du Nord (10th) and Canal de la Villette (19th), both equipped with massive screens.
Pricing varies: some venues charge a cover fee, while others operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Be prepared to pay for the experience.
Alternative venues: from rooftops to shopping centers
For those seeking a more upscale experience, several trendy locations are opening their doors for the occasion. In the 13th arrondissement, Wanderlust will broadcast the match before launching a late-night party that runs until 6 a.m. Entry is free, but space is limited.
In the 18th arrondissement, the newly opened Central Chapelle welcomes fans from 4 p.m. onward, with tickets priced at €18.99, including access to the match and post-game festivities. Meanwhile, Boom Boom Villette in the 19th will transform its space into a PSG-themed zone, charging €20 per person.
The iconic Grand Rex cinema in central Paris will also screen the final, though tickets are currently sold out. Fans can still join a waiting list in hopes of snagging a spot.
Neighborhoods beyond central Paris
Vibes won’t be confined to the city center. The 17th arrondissement’s town hall has reserved 600 seats for the match, though registrations are now closed. Other spots include:
- Cabaret Sauvage (19th), Hippodrome de Longchamp (16th), Virage (17th), Canal Barboteur (Bobigny), and La Clairière (16th) – all equipped with giant screens.
- Outside Paris, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine and Le Perray-sur-Yvelines will set up large screens for public viewing.
- In Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the match will be broadcast at the Camp des Loges, with doors opening at 3:30 p.m.
Family-friendly and communal spots
Families and communities looking for a shared experience have plenty of options. In Noisy-le-Grand, the town hall gardens will host a fan zone. Neuilly-sur-Marne’s athletics stadium and Pantin’s Sand Fabrik will also screen the match. Other locations include:
- Villepinte (Stade Pierre Lacans)
- Drancy (Parc de Ladoucette, open from 4 p.m.)
- Saint-Ouen (La Communale)
- L’Île-Saint-Denis (Théâtre Jean-Vilar)
Last-minute refusals
Not all venues are joining the football frenzy. Trinquet Village (16th) will remain open as usual, and Ground Control (12th)—hosting the grand finale of the Paris Beer Festival—has confirmed it won’t broadcast the match. Will attendees resist the urge to check their phones during the game? Only time will tell.
