Adidas have finally revealed the designs that will define the 25/26 UEFA Champions League and Women’s Champions League campaigns. Both match balls, which will make their competitive debut from 27 August, draw inspiration from the breathtaking cosmos and tailor it to the biggest stage in European football.
For the men’s competition, the ball channels the attitude and mystery of the night sky, serving as a canvas to celebrate the tournament’s celestial theme. Each of the iconic Champions League stars is dressed in crisp white, bordered in gold, and accented in deep blue. Elevating the design even further, hand-drawn zodiac symbols wave across the surface in fine gold detailing, nodding to fate, destiny, and a thick sense of mythology. It’s a match ball that captures both the creativity of the beautiful game and the aura of Champions League nights under the lights. The journey to Budapest begins.
In parallel, the Women’s Champions League ball pushes the theme even further into deep space, pull inspiration from the surreal beauty of the Northern Lights. The dark purple panels between the white stars serve as the night sky, illuminated with neon green gradients that evoke a sense of chaos, in the most beautiful way. Vivid pink highlights and bright white accents complete the look, giving the ball a glowing energy. With Oslo set to host the final, the ball stands as a visual metaphor of the journey of the game’s brightest stars chasing their dream.
These two match balls are ready to hit the pitch, and bring the drama…
