adidas has unveiled the match balls that will be used in the league phases of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Women's Champions League.
The Champions League match ball draws inspiration from the night sky, featuring gold-outlined stars and zodiac symbols that reflect the journey of Europe's elite towards this season's final in Budapest.
The Women's Champions League ball draws from deep space and northern lights, with vibrant neon details and a glowing finish, leading the way to Oslo, where we will hope to defend our European crown.
Both footballs feature the iconic UEFA star pattern and are built with adidas' latest performance technology, including PRISMA surface for improved precision and swerve, outer texture coating for grip and control, and CTR-CORE for consistent shape and fast play, made with renewable natural rubber and bio-based materials like corn fibre and sugar cane.
This season's Champions League match balls are the most bio-based adidas has ever produced, with each layer incorporating eco-friendly materials without compromising quality.
As part of adidas' partnership with Common Goal, 1% of global net sales from adidas footballs - including the Champions League match balls - will support social impact projects around the world.
The new match balls are available now in adidas stores, select retailers and online.
