Conference League final: Date, venue, format & history

The 2024/25 Conference League final will mark the culmination of the fourth edition of the tournament and will be played on Wednesday 28th May 2025.

After the previous finals in Tirana, Prague and Athens, the Polish city of Wroclaw will be the fourth city to host the showpiece.

The town's eponymous stadium, which hosted three games during Euro 2012, is the home of the city's primary club, Slask, and has also been used by the Polish national team.

It will be the first time the final will carry the Conference League moniker following the competition's rebranding from its original name, Europa Conference League, in time for this season.

Conference League final date

The 2024/25 Conference League final between Real Betis and Chelsea will take place on Wednesday 28th May, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 BST.

Conference League final venue

The Wroclaw Stadium was constructed between 2009 and 2011 and opened in September 2011.

It was built to be one of the eight venues used during the 2012 Euros played in Poland and Ukraine and was the scene for three Group A fixtures - Czech Republic 1-4 Russia, Czech Republic 2-1 Greece and Poland 0-1 Czech Republic.

As of writing, the Wroclaw Stadium has also hosted 13 other international games, most recently Poland's 2-1 win over Wales in June 2022.

It is the home of Slask Wroclaw, who could feature in the final. They will enter the Conference League at the second qualifying stage after finishing runners-up in the 2023/24 Ekstraklasa.

Conference League final history

Roma won the inaugural edition of the Europa Conference League in 2021/22, beating Feyenoord 1-0 in the final at Arena Kombetare, Tirana.

West Ham claimed the spoils in the 2022/23 tournament after edging past Fiorentina 2-1 in the final, with Jarrod Bowen scoring a last-minute winner for the Hammers at Fortuna Arena, Prague.

It was the Premier League outfit's first trophy since the 1980 FA Cup and a first European success since the 1965 European Cup Winners' Cup.

The 2023/24 final was all about Athens, taking place at the city's Agia Sophia Stadium, home of AEK, and won by Olympiacos.

Fiorentina were again on the wrong end of the result as Jose Mendilibar's side triumphed 1-0 courtesy of Ayoub El Kaabi's extra-time goal, the Moroccan's 11th in just nine games, having also scored five times in the Europa League before Christmas.

That strike saw Thrylos take the trophy back across town to Piraeus, becoming the first Greek side to win a major European trophy.
