The major clash that will open the European club season is set!

After beating Arsenal on penalties in the Champions League final this Saturday (30), Paris Saint-Germain were crowned back-to-back champions and secured their place in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup.

The French club will face Aston Villa, who booked their spot in the final by winning the UEFA Europa League against Freiburg.

The clash of champions will take place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Stadion Salzburg in Austria.

Everything about the 2026 Super Cup

Debut in Salzburg

Stadion Salzburg will make history by hosting its first official UEFA club final.

The modern Austrian arena is home to FC Salzburg and was also one of the main venues of UEFA EURO 2008, hosting three group-stage matches on that occasion.

Salzburg thus becomes the 14th different city to host the European Super Cup since UEFA abandoned the fixed-host format in Monaco, following in the footsteps of cities such as Prague, Istanbul, Budapest, Warsaw, and Udine.

PSG look to defend the crown in a new dynasty

Paris Saint-Germain arrive in Salzburg not only as the current holders of the Champions League trophy, but also as the defending Super Cup champions.

In the 2025 edition, played in Udine, Italy, the Parisian side won the trophy in a similar fashion to this Saturday: after a 2-2 draw in normal time, they beat Tottenham on penalties.

Historically, Champions League winners have held a clear edge in the competition, lifting the Super Cup trophy in 30 of the 50 editions played so far.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, will try to upset the French favorites and crown their remarkable return to the top of the continental stage.

So, who takes this one?
