adidas has unveiled the official match balls for the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League and Women's Champions League. These new designs will be used throughout the tournament by Newcastle United, who return to Europe's top competition with a squad full of talent and ambition.

The Champions League ball is inspired by the night sky, featuring gold-outlined stars and zodiac symbols that reflect the journey of Europe's top clubs toward the final in Budapest. The Women's Champions League ball draws from deep space and the northern lights, with vibrant neon details and a glowing finish, leading the way to Oslo. 

Both footballs showcase the iconic UEFA star pattern and are built with adidas' latest performance technology: 

  • PRISMA surface for improved precision and swerve

  • Outer texture coating for grip and control

  • CTR-CORE for consistent shape and fast play, made with renewable natural rubber and bio-based materials like corn fibre and sugar cane

In addition to performance, sustainability is a key focus. These are the most bio-based match balls adidas has ever produced, with each layer incorporating eco-friendly materials without compromising quality. 

As part of adidas' partnership with Common Goal, one per cent of global net sales from adidas footballs - including these - will support social impact projects around the world. 

The new match footballs are available now in adidas stores, selected retailers, and online.
