The information, which came from the British daily The Telegraph, was confirmed by Le Progrès. The city of Lyon was chosen by the continental authorities to host the finals of the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup in May 2027. The Rhone candidacy of Groupama Stadium was chosen at the expense of that of Rome.
This will be the second time that Lyon will have the privilege of hosting the European elite after 2016. That year, Saracens beat Racing in the final of the Champions Cup (21-9) and Montpellier won the Challenge Cup ahead of Harlequins (26-19).
Until then, fans in the region will be able to enjoy the semi-finals of the top 14, scheduled for Friday June 20 and Saturday June 21, 2025.
