Consensus in physics is that the universe is finite[1]. Even if it weren't finite, it's likely still a moot question because the speed of light will inhibit us from every seeing outside a finite radius.

If your definition of infinite is also includes that the portion of the universe that actually has energy in it is 1/∞ then sure
