The big night is approaching, and one question is on everyone’s mind: where to watch the Champions League final? While not everyone will make the trip to Budapest, several venues will be hosting screenings in Paris and the Île-de-France region. From broadcasts to giant screens and sports bars, here are five options to experience the match in a true game-day atmosphere
Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the big screen at the “birthplace of PSG”
Head to the Yvelines for one of the biggest public screenings outside Paris. The city of Saint-Germain-en-Laye is hosting a free event at the Georges-Lefèvre Stadium, where the club played for many years. On the agenda: a giant screen, food trucks, and entertainment starting in the afternoon.
Belushi’s Paris, among the fans
Spacious venue, screens everywhere, and a true soccer atmosphere: Belushi’s remains a sure bet for big matches. Arriving a little early probably won’t be a luxury given the expected crowds.
The ParisLongchamp racetrack, “garden party + giant screen” style
This is probably the most unexpected option of the weekend. The ParisLongchamp racetrack will host a large outdoor broadcast with food trucks, bars, a DJ set, and a massive LED screen. The event is designed as a sort of XXL garden party centered around the match.
La Clairière, to watch the match… in the middle of the Bois de Boulogne
The open-air club La Clairière will also be showing the final on a big screen before the evening event. A rather unique setup: a match, a terrace, a forest, and an open-air atmosphere instead of stools and pints in a crowded pub.
The Long Hop, for a pub atmosphere
Just a stone’s throw from the Latin Quarter, this sports bar is also no stranger to European match nights. An interesting option for those who want to avoid the huge crowds while still enjoying a great atmosphere.
