Champions League 2026: Adidas unveils the official final ball (photo)

This Monday, Adidas unveiled the official match ball for the 2026 Champions League final, which will take place in Budapest on May 30.

Inspired by the concept of the city as "the tale of two cities", the new ball fuses modernity and tradition with vibrant colors and a liquid-effect graphic design. This symbolizes the energy and duality of the iconic city of Budapest.

The signature lion and dragon motifs, white star panels, and the Adidas and UEFA Champions League logos in yellow all highlight the identity of this year’s host city. While the ball will make its debut in the knockout phase, it’s already available for purchase starting Monday, February 9.
