This Saturday, football fans across Paris and the Île-de-France region will gather to witness a historic moment as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) face English champions Arsenal in the Champions League final. With kickoff set for 6 p.m., anticipation is building as the Parisians aim to secure back-to-back titles. Whether you’re looking for lively bars with giant screens or unique venues offering special experiences, here’s where to catch the action in the capital and beyond.

No fan zone, but plenty of bar options

The planned fan zone in Paris was ultimately scrapped due to scheduling conflicts, including major concerts by Aya Nakamura at the Stade de France and Damso at Paris La Défense Arena, as well as the ongoing Roland-Garros tournament and a Stade Français rugby match. However, numerous bars across the city will be broadcasting the final, some opening their doors as early as 4 p.m. to accommodate eager fans.

Classic spots like Hall’s Beer Tavern in Châtelet, Café Oz on Grands Boulevards, and O’Sullivans in Pigalle will feature giant screens, though reservations are often required—and sometimes costly. The Belushi’s locations at Gare du Nord and Canal de la Villette are also top choices, offering large displays and a festive atmosphere.

Unique venues with special experiences

For those seeking more than just a match broadcast, several venues are stepping up with tailored offerings. In the 13th arrondissement, Wanderlust will air the game before launching a late-night party running until 6 a.m., while the newly opened Central Chapelle in the 18th arrondissement opens at 4 p.m. for a 18.99 euro entry covering both the match and the evening’s festivities.

The Boom Boom Villette shopping center in the 19th arrondissement will deck itself out in PSG colors, selling tickets at 20 euros. Meanwhile, the iconic Grand Rex cinema in central Paris is hosting the final, though it’s currently fully booked—though waitlists may still be available.

Other standout locations include the Sama rooftop in the 5th arrondissement, offering free reservations, and Sacré in the 2nd arrondissement, which boasts four giant screens spread across two rooms. In the 11th arrondissement, the Yoru Japanese restaurant near Bastille presents multiple ticket tiers ranging from 11 to 21 euros, while Café A near Gare de l’Est has been a reliable viewing spot since the quarter-finals.

Public screenings across Paris

A host of public spaces will also set up large screens for communal viewing. The Mairie du XVIIe arrondissement is fully booked for its 600-seat screening, but other locations like the Cabaret Sauvage in the 19th, Hippodrome de Longchamp in the 16th, Virage in the 17th, and La Clairière in the 16th will welcome fans. The Canal Barboteur in Bobigny is another option for outdoor screenings.

Outside the city limits, towns like Conflans-Sainte-Honorine and Le Perray-sur-Yvelines will also install giant screens. In Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the match will be broadcast at the Camp des Loges, with doors opening at 3:30 p.m.

Fan zones and stadium screenings beyond Paris

The festivities extend into the suburbs, where multiple municipalities have organized screenings. In Noisy-le-Grand, the Hôtel de Ville gardens will host a fan zone, while Neuilly-sur-Marne’s athletics stadium will be transformed for the occasion. Other options include the Sand Fabrik in Pantin, Stade Pierre Lacans in Villepinte, and Drancy, where the Parc de Ladoucette will open at 4 p.m. In Saint-Ouen, the Communale venue will broadcast the final, while L’Île-Saint-Denis’s Théâtre Jean-Vilar will do the same.

Not all venues are joining the hype

While most places are embracing the Champions League final, a few are sticking to their original plans. Trinquet Village in the 16th arrondissement and Ground Control in the 12th have announced they won’t be screening the match, opting instead to host their scheduled events. Whether fans can resist the temptation to sneak a peek remains to be seen.
