2026 UEFA Champions League Winner Predictions
There are eight clubs left seeking a chance to hoist Ol' Big Ears — a symbol of greatness in European soccer.
Here are the teams in a great position to advance beyond the Quarterfinals and win the 2026 UEFA Champions League to hoist the European Cup.
Below is the Champions League bracket to illustrate the paths each club will have to take to reach the UCL Final.
Bayern Munich to Win 2026 Champions League?
Bayern to win 2026 Champions League Payout: 3.84x | 1.23x No
No team in the 2026 Champions League has been better on the attack than Bayern Munich. According to Fotmob, Bayern is first in goals per match (3.2), expected goals (xG; 28.6), and big chances (56) in the UCL.
The top-flight club from the German Bundesliga hasn’t been too shabby on the defensive end of the pitch either, ranking sixth in xG conceded (11.9).
Although Bayern is tasked with facing Real Madrid in the quarterfinals — and F Kylian Mbappe is likely to be available for the Spanish giants — Bayern can do damage against a Madrid team that is 25th in xG conceded (17.6) in UCL play.
A front line of F Harry Kane, F Michael Olise, and F Luis Diaz is a lethal trio against a vulnerable Real Madrid back line.
According to PrizePicks Team Picks, Kane has a 2.56x payout to win the 2026 UEFA Champions League Golden Boot for being the highest goalscorer in the tournament, as he’s sitting just 3 goals behind Mbappe.
Additionally, GK Thibaut Courtois is uncertain to be available for Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. If Bayern Munich were to defeat Madrid, they’d then face the winner of PSG and Liverpool, with one of those clubs being another team to watch.
A potential clash between Bayern Munich and PSG in the semifinals could determine the winner of the entire tournament. Whoever advances to the Champions League Final will get a chance to face either Arsenal, Sporting Lisbon, Barcelona, or Atletico Madrid.
As of writing, Bayern Munich has a 1.42x payout to advance to the UCL Semifinals and a 2x payout to make the UCL Final, via PrizePicks Team Picks. Only EPL side Arsenal has a higher payout to reach the Champions League Final than Bayern.

Paris Saint-Germain to Win 2026 Champions League?
PSG to win 2026 Champions League Payout: 6.25x ($100 pays out $625) via PrizePicks
PSG, the reigning champs of the Champions League, could be getting hot at the perfect time.
PSG dispatched tournament-favorite Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate in the last round to earn a spot in the quarterfinals, and the French side seemed to be on cruise control throughout both legs.
Up next for PSG is Liverpool, who have looked shaky at times, especially in the Premier League. Aside from going 4-1-4 over their last nine EPL matches, Liverpool hasn’t really been tested much in the UCL despite their impressive metrics — first in xG difference and shots on target per match. Their 1-0 win over Real Madrid at Anfield is the most notable result to this point.
PSG is one of the most well-rounded squads remaining in the Champions League, ranking fifth in xG (25.2), first in average possession (67.4%), first in accurate passes per match (602.3), and first in touches in the opposition’s box (446).
PSG’s ability to be patient to break down defenses and have defenders who can link up in attack is invaluable.
Although F Ousmane Dembele hasn’t been fully healthy in the earlier rounds of the Champions League, right-back Achraf Hakimi is tied for the most assists (5), and F Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has the fourth-most goals + assists (11) in the competition, per Fotmob.
Being that Liverpool has a 2.63x payout to advance to the Semifinals and a 1.4x payout to not advance to the Semifinals, there isn’t much public belief in them beating PSG.
Before facing Liverpool in the first leg of the quarterfinals, PSG carries a 1.47x payout to reach the UCL Semifinals and a 3.12x payout to advance to the UCL Final, via PrizePicks Team Picks.
Once again, the winner between Bayern Munich and PSG in a potential showdown in the Champions League Semifinals could very well decide who take the crown as Europe's best clubin 2026.
