adidas Unveils Official UEFA Champions League Final Ball for 2026 in Budapest

adidas Reveals New Match Ball Ahead of 2026 UCL Final

adidas has officially unveiled the match ball for the 2026 UEFA Champions League final, which will be held in Budapest. The new ball features a metallic purple base color with a chameleon pigmented finish, designed to deliver both a visually striking appearance and optimal performance on the pitch. This release marks the final Champions League final ball produced by adidas under their long-standing contract with UEFA.

The 2026 final ball reflects adidas’s commitment to innovation and style, incorporating technology aimed at improving ball control and flight stability. However, from 2027 onwards, Nike will take over as the exclusive supplier of UEFA Champions League match balls, ending adidas’s 15-year tenure. The Budapest final ball thus represents the closing chapter of an era for adidas in Europe’s premier club competition.
