Champions League 2026-27 Predictions: Who Will Win the Title?
BBC Sport explores who might clinch the prestigious Champions League title in the upcoming season.
European Football's Elite Competition Returns
The Champions League is back, and with it comes the thrill of predicting who will lift the famous trophy on 5 June 2027 in Madrid. Paris St-Germain (PSG) aims to make history by becoming the first team since Real Madrid (2015-18) to win three titles in a row.
English Teams and Top Contenders
Five English teams enter the fray, with Arsenal considered the favorites to improve on their runners-up finish from last season.
Expert Opinions:
Julien Laurens:
- "If PSG do the three-peat, it would be an incredible achievement... I think two in a row is already special - three in a row is impossible unless you've got Cristiano Ronaldo..."
- Predicts PSG to reach the semi-finals, with Bayern Munich and Arsenal making the final, and Arsenal as the champions.
Guillem Balague:
- "With PSG's irregular start... it is demanding, with dynamic football and relentless pressure... I expect them to get very close to winning it again."
- Expects Barcelona, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich to be in the semis, with Manchester City also a contender.
