PSG/Arsenal – A fan zone in Paris for the Champions League final?

This Wednesday evening, after a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich (6-5 on aggregate) in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final, Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the final on May 30 in Budapest against Arsenal (kick-off at 6 p.m., broadcast on Canal+ and M6). The question of a broadcast in Paris, in a fan zone, is already being raised. RMC Sport provided an update on the matter, which has the support of mayor Emmanuel Grégoire.

“We will also have to deal on May 30 with several very important cultural events”

“The incidents in Paris on the night of the 2025 final are not encouraging the authorities to set up a large gathering place for this new final. Even if the kick-off time still leaves some room for hope. According to our information, Paris City Hall is fully in favor of setting up a fan zone, while the location and security remain matters for discussion.” We will also have to deal on May 30 with several very important cultural events such as Aya Nakamura’s concert at the Stade de France, as well as Damso at La Défense Arena and Bouss at the Accor Arena.

“We’re going to work on it”

Emmanuel Grégoire wants to set up a fan zone in Paris on the night of the final. His teams have already spoken with PSG on the subject, and the situation should develop over the next few days. “We want this final to be a huge celebration. We’re going to work on it because I obviously want it to happen in complete safety, but I also want a great fan zone for the final,” the mayor of Paris told RMC. ”

A fan zone is not unthinkable, but it is shaping up to be very complicated. It would already be difficult to convince the authorities even without the other major events, so as things stand it seems almost impossible. Even with Emmanuel Grégoire’s support, because he will not have the final say on this matter.

The most likely option is for something to be set up at the Parc des Princes. That was the case last season, and it was a success. Even if there were incidents in Paris afterward, which seems almost inevitable (unfortunately). Especially in the event of celebrations after a victory. This will be one to follow over the next few days, but for now we would rather not get our hopes up too much.
