The Europa League has grown in significance in recent times. UEFA has done a great job of raising the profile of Europe's second most prestigious competition and making it a more thrilling event for football fans. As well as offering clubs the opportunity to win major silverware, it also now provides an automatic route into next season’s Champions League campaign. Getting your hands on tickets to any matches in Europe’s top leagues can prove to be a tough ask these days, so the Europa League also offers fans a further chance to see their beloved sides in action.

Atalanta’s road to Europa League glory last season will prove to be an inspiration for all sides and fans who have hopes of reaching the 2025 Europa League Final at Bilbao's San Mames Stadium on Wednesday, May 21. As well as being a huge achievement for the Bergamo boys, their 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Final was also a momentous occasion for Italian sides in general. A Serie A team hadn’t reigned supreme in the UEFA competition since Parma’s triumph in 1999 prior to that.
With penalty shootouts required to determine the winner in three of the previous four Europa League Finals, the San Mames spectators could be set for another nail-biting and enthralling encounter. Football nights under the lights are always unique and absorbing, so don’t miss out on one of the highlights of the season to date. Let GOAL help guide you on how you can make your footballing dreams come true by claiming a ticket for the 2025 Europa League Final in Bilbao.
When is the 2025 UEFA Europa League final?
Getty ImagesThe 2025 Europa League final will take place at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao, Spain on Wednesday, March 21. The stadium, which opened in 2013 and replaced the old San Mames venue, is home to Athletic Club Bilbao and has a capacity in excess of 50,000. Last year it staged the UEFA Women's Champions League final, with Barcelona beating Lyon 2-0.
The 2025 Europa League winners will gain a place in the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, if they have not qualified via their domestic competition. They will also earn the right to play against the winners of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.
Where to buy 2025 UEFA Europa League Final tickets
Getty ImagesTickets for the Europa League Final are traditionally available through three avenues: the official ticket portals of both teams who make the fixture and directly through UEFA itself. It’s important to keep tabs on official channels for further information.
Similar to high-demand fixtures in other club and international competitions, the governing body sells tickets for the UEFA Europa League Final not through traditional sales pathways but by ballot instead in an attempt to manage greater demand.
You will be able to enter the ballot to purchase UEFA Europa League Final tickets through UEFA at a date closer to the fixture itself, with the governing body’s website currently only offering tickets for this summer’s Women’s Euro 2025.
In addition, you may be able to purchase UEL Final tickets through second-hand retailers, such as StubHub, closer to the time.
How much are UEFA Europa League Final tickets?
Getty ImagesPrices for the 2025 UEFA Europa League Final have yet to be officially unveiled and will likely not be revealed until the ballot officially opens for tickets ahead of the clash itself. However, GOAL can present the prices from the 2024 edition of the final, held at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Regular tickets were split across four price brackets, with the cheapest seats sold for €40 in Category 4 (or ‘Fans First). Next up, were Category 3 tickets which sold at €65, Category 2 went for €100, and top-price tickets in Category 1 set fans back €150.
Given the general rise in inflation, fans can likely expect to see a further increase in prices for the 2025 UEFA Europa League Final. Prices will be the same regardless of which clubs make the fixture, though some teams may subsidise their allocation costs for supporters as a show of loyalty. Both Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen received an allocation of 12,000 tickets out of a 48,000 capacity for last year’s Final, with an additional 12,000 tickets made available for fans worldwide to purchase.
