No Bayern-Like 26-27 Debut: Arsenal and PSG Stick With 25-26 Kits for Champions League Final
May 21, 2026, by Chris
- Teams' Kit Choice: Arsenal and PSG will wear their 2025-2026 home kits in the 2026 Champions League Final, unlike Bayern Munich who previously wore their next season's kit in the semi-final.
- Kit Continuity: Both PSG and Arsenal aim to maintain historical continuity by using the same kits worn throughout their Champions League journey for the final match.
- Kit Details: The PSG and Arsenal shirts will feature commemorative match text on the chest, with PSG wearing their dark navy Nike shirt with the Hechter stripe and Arsenal wearing their red and white Adidas home strip.
Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are set to face off in the 2026 UEFA Champions League Final, and both clubs have confirmed they will wear their current 2025-2026 home kits for the occasion. This decision stands in contrast to Bayern Munich, which already wore next season's kit in the second semi-final.
PSG x Arsenal 25-26 Champions League Final Kits
Both PSG x Nike and Arsenal x Adidas have opted to maintain historical continuity, ensuring the visual identity of this European run remains intact for the ultimate showcase in Budapest.
PSG Champions League Final Badges
Recent media appearances and official club imagery have given fans a clear look at the specialized final editions of these current kits. Both the PSG and Arsenal shirts have been updated with commemorative match text printed centrally on the chest, reading "FINAL BUDAPEST 2026 - PUSKÁS ARÉNA - 30 MAY - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN VS ARSENAL FC." Paris Saint-Germain will step out in their dark navy Nike 25-26 home shirt featuring the intricate red Hechter stripe and the gold FIFA Intercontinental Champions badge, while Arsenal will sport their well-known 25-26 red and white Adidas home strip, as recently modeled by William Saliba during pre-match press duties.
For football kit purists, this decision is a welcome departure from the commercial strategy of early kit debuts. Wearing the 25-26 kits ensures that the exact uniform associated with the grueling journey to the final is the same one that will be immortalized in the trophy lift photographs and history books.
