- Mark Apostolou
Tickets for the five biggest Champions League games of the 2026/27 league phase start from £108, and the cheapest of the lot is the reigning champions in Manchester. The draw in Monaco on 27th August handed us a league phase with genuine heavyweight collisions, and the ticket market has already reacted.
Last season UEFA's flagship competition settled into its expanded format, and the majority of football fans approved of the new look tournament. Paris Saint-Germain then went and won it twice in a row, beating Arsenal on penalties in Budapest in May.
Fans hoping to taste that atmosphere in person can find the best value Champions League tickets via SeatPick today. We compare listings from trusted resellers in one place, so you see the full picture before you buy, and every ticket comes with our 100% purchase guarantee.

- Bayern Munich vs Arsenal has the tightest supply. Just 1,353 tickets are listed, against 8,626 for the City game.

Let's take a closer look at the five most attractive ties that were drawn.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Tickets: 21st October 2026
Harry Kane and co. host the reigning Premier League champions in late October, and it is bound to be a cracker. The Allianz Arena will be rocking for this one.
These two have history that keeps getting richer. In 2023/24 they met in the quarter-finals, with the Emirates leg finishing 2-2 before Arsenal lost in Germany.
Last season Mikel Arteta's side gained a measure of revenge, beating Vincent Kompany's Bayern 3-1 in North London to end the German champions' unbeaten European start. Bayern will want revenge back on home soil.
Supply is the story here. With only 1,353 tickets currently listed, this is the tightest market of the five, and prices start from £215.

Arsenal vs Real Madrid Tickets: 9th December 2026
This is the single most anticipated fixture of the entire league phase, and the ticket market agrees. Prices at the Emirates Stadium start from £499, comfortably the highest of our five.
There is a very good reason for that. José Mourinho returns to the Santiago Bernabéu dugout this season after his move from Benfica, and his first European campaign back in Madrid brings him to North London.
The 2024/25 quarter-final between these two was one of the great modern European ties. Arsenal won 3-0 at home and then 2-1 in Madrid to knock out the 15-time champions.
Arsenal arrive as English champions but with a wound to heal after the Budapest final. Fans tracking the rest of their campaign can browse Arsenal Champions League tickets for every home and away fixture.

PSG vs FC Barcelona Tickets: 20th October 2026
Luis Enrique's back-to-back European champions host Hansi Flick's Barcelona at the Parc des Princes, with tickets from £205.
The two met in the league phase last season, and PSG won 1-2 in Barcelona. Flick's side were then knocked out by Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals, while Paris went all the way again.
Add in the memories of the 2017 remontada and this fixture rarely disappoints. You can find the full set of FC Barcelona vs PSG tickets on SeatPick, plus the rest of the holders' campaign on our PSG Champions League tickets page.
Manchester City vs PSG Tickets: 14th October 2026
Here is the value pick of the whole draw. Tickets to see the double defending champions at the Etihad Stadium start from just £108, less than a quarter of the Arsenal vs Real Madrid entry price.
This encounter also marks a new era in Manchester. Enzo Maresca has taken over from Pep Guardiola, and the Italian will be looking to get one over on .
The last meeting was a classic in the wrong direction for City, PSG winning 4-2 in Paris in January 2025. Before that, City knocked Paris out in the 2020/21 semi-finals on their way to a first final.
With 8,626 tickets listed, this is by far the deepest inventory of the five, which is exactly why the entry price is so low. Browse the rest of the campaign via Manchester City Champions League tickets.

Manchester United vs Bayern Munich Tickets: 20th January 2027
United are back in the Champions League for the first time since 2023/24, and the draw could hardly have been kinder to the romantics. Bayern Munich at Old Trafford needs no introduction.
Michael Carrick guided United to third place last season and was handed the job permanently. His reward is a home date with the club United beat 2-1 in the 1999 final in Barcelona, one of the great nights in English football.
The more recent record is less kind. Bayern won both 2023/24 group games, taking it 4-3 in Munich and 1-0 at Old Trafford.
Tickets start from £210, making this United's most expensive home fixture of the league phase by some distance.

Where the Value Sits in the 2026/27 Champions League Market
Starting prices only tell half the story. The average listing price shows how much of each market sits above that entry point, and it is where the real gaps appear.
| Fixture | Starting Price | Average Price |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City vs PSG | £108 | £318 |
| PSG vs FC Barcelona | £205 | £445 |
| Manchester United vs Bayern | £210 | £477 |
| Bayern Munich vs Arsenal | £215 | £831 |
| Arsenal vs Real Madrid | £499 | £1,249 |
A few things jump out of the numbers. Bayern vs Arsenal and Man Utd vs Bayern start within £5 of each other, but the average in Munich is nearly double the average in Manchester.
That is scarcity at work. Old Trafford has 7,159 tickets listed against 1,353 in Munich, so the Allianz market thins out fast above the cheapest seats.
Context helps too. Arsenal's other home league phase games start from £125 against Lille and £154 against Sabah FC, so Real Madrid carries roughly a four-fold premium at the same stadium.
The same pattern shows in Bavaria. Bayern's home games against Bodø/Glimt, Slavia Prague and Real Betis all start between £83 and £101, less than half the Arsenal price.
And if you want the ultimate benchmark, the showpiece in Madrid on 5th June 2027 starts from £4,152. That is more than eight times the Arsenal vs Real Madrid entry price, which suddenly makes a December night at the Emirates look reasonable.
