​FOR THE GLORY OF THE GAME: HUBLOT TIMES EVERY SECOND OF THE 2025/26 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEASON
 ​

Budapest, Hungary, 30 May 2026 - On a memorable night of intense drama, competition and passion in Budapest, the curtain fell on the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League with a wonderful final. Every hour, minute and second of every game in this season's tournament was timed by Hublot, UEFA Champions League's Official Timekeeper. This year is particularly special for the Swiss watchmaker, which is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its first involvement in the sport. Throughout the tournament and during the final, player substitutions and added time were signaled on the iconic Hublot Fourth Official's Board. One this occasion, notable personalities such as American basketball player AJ Dybantsa, British singer Jessica Glynne and British actors Saffron Hocking and Daniel Kaluuya were in attendance, joining Hublot in this celebration. Hublot was also joined by football legends Luis Figo, Johan Djourou, Claude Makelele, and Robert Pires, who added to the prestige of the event, showcasing the enduring connection between Hublot and the world's most beloved sport.

The final served as a reminder of Hublot's deep roots in football. The disruptive, highly creative company became the first luxury watchmaker in the sport when it sponsored the Swiss national team in 2006, creating a template for the fusion of high-end luxury and high-profile sport and entertainment. This would prove to be just the first step into football for Hublot, which over the past two decades has sponsored four FIFA World Cups and five UEFA EURO. A decade ago, it timed the first of more than 800 UEFA Champions League games, confirming its place as football's first watch. Today, it maintains its pioneering relationship with football as sponsor of UEFA's flagship club competitions and international tournaments across the men's and women's games. As a result, Hublot is now a household name. Football fans all over the world recognize the famous pitch-side Hublot Fourth Official's Board, while exciting partnerships with Kylian Mbappé, Alex Morgan and Ada Hegerberg have amplified the story, too. Alongside these, Hublot has also released a series of innovative, technical and sometimes limited-edition Swiss Made watches to celebrate tournaments and players. Combined, these involvements have elevated both football and Hublot to new heights, inspiring lasting joy, passion and loyalty. Hublot is proud of its special relationship with football and continues to align itself with the game's values, each year introducing new collections that speak to its energy and unshakeable commitment to creative and mechanical excellence. 

As this year's tournament began, Hublot introduced the 100-piece Classic Fusion Chronograph UEFA Champions League Titanium, marking 70 years of the UEFA Champions League (formerly the European Cup) and 10 years since Hublot first timed the world's foremost club competition. This special collector's watch has a 42mm case cast in lightweight satin-finished and polished titanium and a gradient blue dial with the UEFA Champions League logo on the counter at 3 o'clock. Inside it beats HUB1153, a Swiss Made automatic mechanical chronograph caliber with a 48-hour power reserve. It comes on a strap that fuses blue rubber with blue calf leather, and that is printed with a recurring motif of the iconic UEFA Champions League starball emblem. Each piece is supplied in a custom wooden case, together with an official miniature UEFA Champions League trophy replica. It's a watch designed for people who want to surpass themselves.

“Congratulations UEFA on 70 years of the world's most prestigious club competition and on another incredible UEFA Champions League tournament! Once again, it has been a joy to stand with you as the Official Watch and Official Timekeeper of the UEFA Champions League and to time this year's tournament, right down to the final whistle. Every single second counts in football, and it was an honor to time them all again this year. At Hublot, this success builds on 20 years of passion, 20 years of innovation and 20 years of being football's first watch. It continues to be a revelation to travel the world and see the love fans have for Hublot and the role it plays in growing the game, and we are so excited to continue this eternal story as partners of the Mexican and Japanese national teams at this summer's FIFA World Cup” stated Julien Tornare, Hublot CEO.
