Liverpool football fans could win a VIP trip to the 2026 UEFA Champions League Final in Budapest just by watching the match at their local pub.
Heineken, the official partner of the UEFA Champions League, has teamed up with Stonegate Group to reward fans for doing what they do best: watching the Champions League in the pub with their mates.
This unique promotion offers a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the final at the Puskás Aréna, with several iconic Liverpool venues confirmed as participating locations.
The participating pubs across Liverpool include:
- The Brookhouse
- Hope & Anchor
- Yates
- Albert Hotel
- Flute
- The Farmers Arms Hotel
To participate, fans must download the free MiXR app, create an account, and sign up to Season Pass, where they can earn rewards for watching the game.
Once signed up, fans can enter the prize draw by purchasing a Round of Heineken (four pints) for £12 during a Champions League match and scanning their valid MiXR card at the bar.
The promotion runs until 29 April 2026, with the lucky winner drawn at random on 1 May 2026.
An Unforgettable VIP Football Experience in Budapest
The prize is designed to offer a complete, two-night VIP experience from 29–31 May 2026.
One lucky winner and a guest will be flown to Budapest to soak up the atmosphere of one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
The full prize package includes return economy flights from London or Manchester to Budapest and two hospitality tickets to the 2026 UEFA Champions League Final provided by Heineken.
The winners will also enjoy exclusive pre-match hospitality, a Friday night welcome event, and a Saturday lunch event ahead of the final.
The stay includes two nights in a minimum four-star hotel, with transfers between the airport, hotel, and stadium all covered, alongside a £250 travel allowance to ensure a seamless trip.
Celebrating the Shared Spirit of the Game in Liverpool
As the Champions League reaches the knockout stages, Stonegate Group and Heineken say the campaign is designed to celebrate the shared experience of watching football together.
With the quarter-finals and semi-finals expected to draw huge audiences in Liverpool, the promotion gives supporters another reason to head out with their friends and enjoy the matchday atmosphere responsibly.
Stephen Cooper, Head of Marketing at Stonegate Group, said:
“Football is best enjoyed together, and there’s no better place than the pub with your mates.
“At Stonegate Group, we’re proud to celebrate those shared moments, partnering with Heineken to give fans the chance to turn a great night out into an unforgettable UEFA Champions League Final experience.”
Key Dates and Entry Requirements
The remaining Champions League fixtures provide ample opportunity for Liverpool fans to get involved.
The quarter-finals are scheduled for 7/8 and 14/15 April, followed by the semi-finals on 28/29 April and 5/6 May, leading up to the final in Budapest on 30 May 2026.
It is important to note that internet access and the MiXR app are required to enter, and the promotion is open only to UK residents aged 18 or over.
Each Round of Heineken vouchers counts as one entry, with a limit of one entry per person during the promotion period.
By combining the local pub culture of Liverpool with the global prestige of the UEFA Champions League, this initiative ensures that one local fan will transition from a Liverpool bar stool to a VIP seat in Budapest.
