The UEFA Women’s Champions League Final will pit OL Lyonnes against Barcelona in what’s become a compelling rivalry. The two teams have met three times since 2019 at the Champions League Final, with Lyonnes winning the first two matchups and Barcelona prevailing in 2024, and every UWCL Final since 2016 has featured at least one of the two clubs.

• Date, Time: May 23, 12:00 p.m. ET
• Channel: CBS Sports Network
• Streaming: DirecTV, Fubo, Paramount+

The match will be held at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway (Champions League venues are decided in advance, similar to the Super Bowl). Barcelona have had a dominant run on their way to the finals, trouncing Real Madrid in both legs of the quarterfinals. OL Lyonnes, meanwhile, are coming off a decisive 4-1 victory over PSG in the women’s Coupe de France final.

OL Lyonnes is widely considered one of the best women’s teams in the world, and they have the silverware to back it up. The team has won the Première Ligue every year since 2007, save for 2021. Barcelona is the most successful club in Spain’s Liga F; they’ve won every year since 2020. Winning this year’s UWCL would get OL Lyonnes their ninth trophy, while Barcelona is seeking its fourth.
