The 2027 UEFA Champions League final is scheduled for Saturday 5 June 2027 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid, home of Atlético de Madrid and marketed as the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. It will be the stadium's second Champions League final after 2019, and Madrid's sixth European Cup final in all. For one weekend, two sets of travelling fans, sponsors, broadcasters, club delegations and UEFA guests converge on a stadium of around 70,000 seats on the north-east edge of the city.
Elly8.net books the final as a ground plan rather than a single ride: a chauffeur at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, a car to the stadium at a sensible hour, a pickup point agreed before kick-off and, for hospitality guests, a car for the dinner afterwards. Prices are fixed and all-in, and they do not change for the final. Availability does, so the desk asks guests to reserve as soon as they hold a ticket or a hospitality invitation.
How do you get to the Champions League final in Madrid?
Most fans take Metro Line 7 to Estadio Metropolitano station, which UEFA highlights as the easiest public route. Hospitality guests, families and groups book a car: a fixed-price transfer from Barajas, a drop-off near the stadium at the time the organiser's mobility plan allows, and a chauffeur waiting at an agreed point after the final whistle.
The Estadio Metropolitano sits in the Rosas neighbourhood, on Avenida Luis Aragonés, in the north-east of Madrid. On our routing it is about 10 km (6 mi) from Barajas airport, roughly 12 minutes on a clear road, and about 11 km (7 mi) from the Salamanca district and the Golden Triangle, where many visiting fans and corporate guests stay. Those short distances are deceptive. On a final night, the roads around the stadium carry match traffic, police perimeters and coaches all at once, and the final whistle sends tens of thousands of people towards the same Metro station and the same avenues.
UEFA's own guide to the final notes that the stadium is easily reached on Line 7, station Estadio Metropolitano. For a fan with a ticket and a scarf, that is often the best route. A chauffeur becomes the better choice when you are hosting, travelling with children, carrying bags to an airport, or simply want a known pickup point and a known price when the crowd leaves.

UEFA confirmed the venue and date in its 2027 final announcement. The finalists are known only after the semi-finals, which is why demand for flights, hotels and cars in Madrid rises sharply in the weeks before the match. Kick-off time, fan zones and the mobility plan are published by UEFA and the local organisers nearer the date, and the desk works to whatever they set.
Arriving at Barajas for the final
Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas is the arrival point for almost every visiting fan, team guest and sponsor. The airport has taxi ranks on the arrivals floor of Terminals T1, T2 and T4, and on final weekend the queues at those ranks are long.
An Elly8.net chauffeur tracks your flight and meets you inside arrivals with a name board, with complimentary waiting after a tracked landing. Fixed prices per vehicle, all-in, from Barajas to Salamanca and the Golden Triangle (19 km, 12 mi, about 19 minutes on a clear road):
| Vehicle | Barajas transfer | Round trip | By the hour (3-hour minimum) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Sedan | US$120 | US$230 | US$85 |
| Business SUV | US$160 | US$305 | US$110 |
| First Class Sedan | US$210 | US$400 | US$140 |
| First Class SUV | US$195 | US$375 | US$130 |
| Executive Sprinter | US$315 | US$600 | US$170 |
For a hotel elsewhere in Madrid, or for a transfer straight from the airport to the stadium area, the web booker quotes the exact trip. Our airport transfers page explains how meet and greet works, and private jet and FBO transfers covers guests arriving by business aircraft.
Many supporters fly in on the day and out the next morning. If that is your plan, book the return leg at the same time: the morning after a final, thousands of fans leave Madrid at the same time.
Match day: from the hotel to the Metropolitano and back
Before the match. Leave earlier than you think. Allow time for security checks, and expect the roads near the stadium to close or slow as the perimeter is set. The chauffeur drops you at the closest point the police and the organiser allow on the night, which may be a walk from the gate you need. Bring your ticket on your phone, charged, and expect bag rules to be strict.
During the match. On an hourly booking the chauffeur stays with the job, parked outside the restricted area and reachable by phone. Hourly rates in Madrid run from US$85 in a business sedan to US$170 in an Executive Sprinter, with a three-hour minimum. A final with extra time and penalties can run long, so for a match night the five-hour evening out and event night package is the safer choice, from US$425 in a business sedan to US$850 in an Executive Sprinter.
After the final whistle. This is the moment that decides whether your night ends well. Agree the pickup point before kick-off, away from the main flow towards the Metro, and allow 20 to 30 minutes to walk out of the crowd. The chauffeur texts the car's exact position. Winning supporters often stay in the stadium long after the trophy is lifted; the hourly booking simply keeps running.
After the match. Restaurants in Salamanca, Chamberí and the centre stay busy late on a final night. If you have a dinner booked, the same car takes you on. The chauffeur follows local rules on drinks in vehicles.
Hospitality, sponsors and club delegations
UEFA hospitality guests, sponsors and partner companies move to a schedule: hotel breakfast, a pre-match programme, the match and a late dinner. A car for the whole day removes the guesswork. In Madrid the full-day chauffeur (8 hours) is priced from US$630 in a business sedan to US$1,255 in an Executive Sprinter, and the corporate roadshow day (10 hours) from US$765 to US$1,530.
For a group of guests, an Executive Sprinter keeps everyone together from the hotel to the drop-off and back, and is easier to find in a crowd than three sedans. For larger groups the desk books several vehicles under one reference. See group transportation, sports event transportation and the Sprinter van with driver page.
Companies sending clients or staff can put every journey on one corporate account with monthly invoicing. Travel agents and tour operators selling final packages can book for their clients through travel-agent accounts. For delegations who need discretion, chauffeurs are briefed only on what the route requires and the desk signs NDAs on request. Elly8.net provides transportation, not security; protective details are arranged separately.
Taxi, Metro, rideshare or a pre-booked car: an honest comparison
Madrid has excellent public transport and a regulated airport taxi fare, and for many fans they are the right choice.
| Option | Cost | Best for | Weak point on final night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metro Line 7 to Estadio Metropolitano | Standard Metro fare | Fans travelling light, flexible timing | Very crowded before and after the match |
| Airport taxi, flat fare | €33 between the airport and any address inside the M-30 ring | One or two travellers to a central hotel | Long airport queues on final weekend; not a stadium plan |
| App ride | Price set by the app at request | A short hop earlier in the day | Pickups near the stadium are impractical after the match and prices can rise |
| Elly8.net chauffeur | From US$120 airport transfer, from US$85 per hour | Hospitality guests, families, groups, early flights | Must be booked ahead; final weekend books out early |
The taxi figure is Aena's published flat fare for Madrid-Barajas, which applies 24 hours a day to trips that start or end at the airport and start or end inside the M-30 ring road. Aena also advises travellers not to accept taxi offers from people inside the terminals. For Metro routes and fares, see Metro de Madrid.
A pre-booked car makes sense when there are several of you, when you are hosting clients, when children need car seats (provided on request), or when you have a 7 a.m. flight the next day and want a driver who is already booked. For the general comparisons, read chauffeur vs taxi and chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft.
Before and after: Madrid, Toledo and the rest of Spain
Fans who arrive a day or two early can see the city first. The private city highlights tour in Madrid is priced from US$340 in a business sedan to US$680 in an Executive Sprinter, and the city's tourism board lists what is on that week. The signature day trip is Toledo, an 8-hour package from US$630 in a business sedan to US$1,255 in an Executive Sprinter, which makes a calm Friday before a loud Saturday.
Supporters combining the final with a holiday often continue south or west. Elly8.net covers Seville, Marbella and Malaga, Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and Ibiza, and the city-to-city car service quotes longer journeys in the web booker. Flights and hotels can be arranged through our travel partner BookingWorldwide.net; Elly8.net books the car.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a car from Barajas airport during the final weekend?
The same as any other weekend. A Barajas transfer to Salamanca and the Golden Triangle is US$120 in a business sedan, US$160 in a business SUV and US$315 in an Executive Sprinter, all-in per vehicle. Round trips start at US$230. For other addresses, including the stadium area, the web booker quotes the exact fare.
Can the chauffeur drop me at the stadium gate?
Only as close as police and the organiser allow on the night. Security perimeters around the Metropolitano mean the drop-off may be a walk from your gate. The chauffeur checks the published access plan for the match and confirms the drop-off and the pickup point with you by text.
What is the best way to leave the stadium after the final?
Agree a pickup point before kick-off, away from the main flow to the Metro station, and walk out of the crowd to it. Allow 20 to 30 minutes. On an hourly booking or the five-hour package the chauffeur waits however long the celebrations last.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you have a ticket or hospitality confirmation. The finalists are only known after the semi-finals, and demand rises quickly from then. Cancellation is free more than 72 hours before pickup; 10% at 72 hours or less, 50% at 48 hours or less, and 100% at 24 hours or less or for a no-show, refunded to the original card.
Can you move a group of supporters or clients together?
Yes. An Executive Sprinter carries a group with luggage at US$315 from Barajas or US$170 per hour in town. For larger groups the desk books several vehicles under one reference, and companies can be invoiced monthly through a corporate account.
Is the Metro a good option on match night?
For a fan travelling light, yes; UEFA points to Line 7 and Estadio Metropolitano station. Expect very crowded trains before and after the match. A chauffeur is better for families, hospitality guests, groups and anyone with an early flight the next morning.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, on request when you book. Tell the desk the ages of the children so the right seats are fitted before pickup.
