But fans in their native North London, and around the rest of the nation, will have to fork out to follow their side in the contest, according to reports from The Guardian.
And the same is true for both the Europa League and Conference League finals, in which Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are due to play respectively.
The Villains are set to face German outfit Freiburg on Wednesday, while Palace will battle Spain’s Rayo Vallecano a week later.
The decision to charge for the fixtures was made by TNT Sports, the rights holder in the UK to all three European finals.
It will be the first time in almost three-and-a-half decades that the fixture will not be broadcast for free, and the first since its rebrand from the European Cup to the Champions League in 1992.
TNT Sports has been contacted for comment.
