Each winner and their guest will also take part in a Centre Circle Carrier experience, stepping onto the pitch during the pre-match ceremony to carry, unfurl and wave the giant UEFA Champions League centre circle flag just before kick-off.

Champions League matches in the prize draw

Five pairs of tickets are available for each of the three fixtures. Aston Villa host Borussia Dortmund at Villa Park, Birmingham, on 19 January 2027, while Arsenal v Sabah at the Emirates Stadium, London, and Manchester City v Sporting CP at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester, are both on 27 January 2027.

The promotion falls in Hyundai’s first season as an Official Partner of the UEFA Champions League, under a five-season deal that runs until 2030/31.

How to enter the Hyundai draw

Test drives are booked through the Hyundai website, where entrants choose their nearest participating retailer, and must be taken by 17 December 2026. Once the retailer confirms the drive, the customer is entered automatically and receives an email confirming the entry. The draw is open to entrants in the UK aged 18 and over, with one entry per person, and winners will be selected at random after the campaign closes.

IONIQ 3 range, boot and infotainment

The 61kWh version of the electric hatchback covers up to 308 miles on a single charge. It is the first Hyundai in Europe to feature the new Pleos Connect infotainment system, and its boot holds 441 litres. A jury of motoring journalists from across Europe has also named it one of seven finalists for the 2027 European Car of the Year.

Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK, said the car “opens up long distance electric mobility to a whole new audience of buyers”, adding that “very few fans ever get to stand on the pitch as the anthem plays”.
