Arsenal are now Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years, but can they become Champions League winners for the first time in their history? That's the question that will be answered in the very near future as PSG await in Budapest.
The Gunners have had quite the week, but the title celebrations must be put on pause for now, with a date in Budapest needing to be taken care of first. Current Champions League champions PSG, who recently won their fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title, stand in the way of the Gunners and their first-ever Champions League win.
It's hard to argue against the notion that these two teams are currently the best in the world, perhaps alongside Bayern Munich, making this a near-perfect final. But where can fans around the world watch the game? And when is it? Here we run you through the details.
PSG vs Arsenal Champions League final kickoff details
The Champions League final between PSG and Arsenal will take place at the Puskás Arena in Budapest, Hungary on Saturday, May 30. Kick-off is scheduled for 6pm local time, 5pm UK time and 12pm EST.
How to watch the FA Cup final in the UK and Ireland
There has been some controversy around this year's final and the broadcasting of it. TNT Sports remain the rights holders, and they will show the game on TV, but for many years, there has been a free-to-air option for the final only, with UEFA recommending such an offering. This year, however, TNT Sports have decided not to offer it for free, meaning you will either have to subscribe to TNT Sports or sign up for HBO Max for at least one month at £4.99 to watch the final live.
