- Bundesliga teams occupy two of the top three spots in these rankings.
- Milan and Inter share San Siro.
- Allianz Arena was opened in 2005 and hosted World Cup matches a year later.
The atmosphere and stadium are important factors I consider when analyzing the latest Champions League odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook. Home advantage is very significant in Europe’s premier club competition, but some teams benefit more from playing at home than others.

What Are the Best Champions League Stadiums?
1. Borussia Dortmund – Signal Iduna Park
Signal Iduna Park has become a bucket-list destination for soccer fans worldwide. The Yellow Wall is an intimidating sight for any away team.
2. Milan & Inter – San Siro
Plans to demolish San Siro were shelved because of its cultural significance. Every seat has a great view of the pitch – Wembley is the only stadium to have hosted more Champions League finals.
3. Bayern Munich – Allianz Arena
Built in 2005, Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena has luminous panels around the outside which light up in the colour corresponding with the home team (red for Bayern, white for Germany, and blue when 1860 Munich played there).

The stadium has hosted matches at three major international tournaments and was the venue for Chelsea’s dramatic Champions League final win over Bayern in 2012.
4. Real Madrid – Santiago Bernabeu
Real Madrid, perennially among the soccer betting favourites to win the Champions League, recently revamped their stadium. Comprehensive modernization included a new facade, a state-of-the-art roof, and a retractable pitch.
5. Red Star Belgrade – Rajko Mitić Stadium
Rajko Mitić Stadium, commonly known as the “Marakana,” is a 53,000-capacity bowl sitting atop a hill in Belgrade. Red Star Belgrade’s ultras generate a bellowing atmosphere and have a love of pyrotechnics.
6. Liverpool – Anfield
The newly built Anfield Road Stand has improved an already impressive stadium.

Hearing tens of thousands of Liverpool fans belting out “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in unison is an unrivalled experience in European soccer.
7. Celtic – Celtic Park
Celtic’s diehard fans pack the stadium even when their team are struggling in the Champions League. It’s by far the oldest stadium in the competition, with the Scottish giants moving to their current home in 1892.
8. Benfica – Estádio da Luz
Opened in 2003, Benfica’s Estádio da Luz has a polycarbonate roof, which allows more sunlight than many other stadiums. It hosted the Euro 2004 final and the Champions League final 10 years later.
9. Feyenoord – De Kuip
Used as a neutral venue for 11 major finals, De Kuip is the second-largest stadium in the Netherlands. Feyenoord’s fans unveil eye-catching tifos throughout the season.

10. Club Brugge – Jan Breydel Stadium
Jan Breydel is one of the Champions League’s smaller stadiums. Club Brugge’s supporters ensure there is still a hostile atmosphere for visiting teams, however, with the noise making it seem like the capacity is much larger than 29,062.
11. Arsenal – Emirates Stadium
Emirates Stadium is renowned for the quality of its playing surface. The club have also made a clear effort to link the stadium with Arsenal’s history after their move from Highbury in 2006.
12. Atlético Madrid – Wanda Metropolitano
Initially built for Madrid’s bid to host the World Athletics Championships in 1997, Wanda Metropolitano was closed in 2004 after the Spanish capital failed in its efforts to host the 2016 Olympics.

— Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) April 23, 2025
Atlético Madrid took over the stadium in 2013 and have used it as their home ground since 2017.
13. Stuttgart – MHP Arena
One of five teams to sell out all of their home matches in the 2024-25 Champions League, Stuttgart’s MHP Arena produces a phenomenal atmosphere.
14. Juventus – Juventus Stadium
An emphasis was put on sustainability and renewable energy sources when Juventus Stadium was constructed in 2011. It has hosted a Europa League final, the Nations League finals, and the Women’s Champions League final.
15. PSV Eindhoven – Philips Stadion
Philips Stadion has a capacity of 35,119, but the stadium is consistently sold out and produces an incredible atmosphere. First opened in 1912, renovations have brought PSV Eindhoven’s home into the modern era.
16. Manchester City – Etihad Stadium
Built to host the Commonwealth Games in 2002, Etihad Stadium stands out on the Manchester skyline with its sweeping roof and support masts.

On the quality of the facilities alone, I would have put the Etihad in the top 10, but the atmosphere is very flat compared to the others on this list.
17. Lille – Stade Pierre-Mauroy
Stade-Pierre Mauroy can be transformed into an arena for indoor concerts, basketball, or rugby. Lille haven’t had much success in the Champions League, but it’s always a difficult place to visit.
18. Sporting – Estádio José Alvalade
Initially outfitted with multicoloured seats and yellow supporting structures, Sporting opted to change all the seats and supports to the club colour of dark green between 2011 and 2021. The stadium hosted the 2005 UEFA Cup final, which Sporting lost to CSKA Moscow.
19. Aston Villa – Villa Park
Aston Villa are planning to increase their capacity by almost 10,000. Villa Park, built in the 1890s, was the first ground to host international football in three different centuries.
The North Stand redevelopment will increase Villa Park’s capacity to over 50,000, without reducing current matchday capacity in the process.
The enhancements will further modernise the stadium to solidify its status as a world-class sports and entertainment venue. pic.twitter.com/Xhi76Q1P3s

20. PSG – Parc des Princes
PSG spent tens of millions upgrading their stadium ahead of Euro 2016. Additional rows of seats were added and the hospitality capacity was increased significantly.
Qatar Sports Investments are considering buying the stadium from the city council.
