UEFA has officially confirmed the venue allocations for major European football finals spanning from 2027 to 2029. Among the announcements, Cardiff's Principality Stadium was selected to host the 2029 Women's Champions League final, while other fixtures were awarded to major cities including Munich, Barcelona, Lyon, Bucharest, Belgrade, Turin, Budapest, and Amsterdam.

Simultaneously, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) experienced an unsuccessful bid in their attempt to secure the 2029 Women's Champions League final for the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. Consequently, the hosting rights for the 2029 fixture were awarded to Wales instead of Ireland.
