PSG vs. Aston Villa: 2026 UEFA Super Cup time, location, and what to know
Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa meet in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup. Here is the date, kickoff time, location, format, and match context.
When and where is PSG vs. Aston Villa?
The 2026 UEFA Super Cup is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12 at Stadion Salzburg in Salzburg, Austria. UEFA lists kickoff at 21:00 local time.
That converts to 3:00 p.m. Eastern, 2:00 p.m. Central, 1:00 p.m. Mountain and noon Pacific. Viewers should confirm their local broadcaster because television and streaming rights vary by country.
Why are PSG and Aston Villa playing?
The Super Cup brings together the winners of UEFA's two leading men's club competitions. Paris Saint-Germain qualified as Champions League holders, while Aston Villa qualified as Europa League winners.
PSG are attempting to win consecutive Super Cups after lifting the trophy in 2025. Aston Villa's previous appearance ended with a victory over Barcelona in the two-leg 1982 edition.
How the Super Cup is decided
The modern Super Cup is a single match at a neutral venue. If the score is level after regulation time, UEFA's match rules determine whether the game proceeds directly to penalties or includes extra time, so viewers should follow the official match page for the final competition procedure.
Unlike a league match, there is no return leg and no opportunity to recover points later. That makes lineup decisions, substitutions and late-game risk management especially important.
What to watch in the matchup
PSG enter as the Champions League winners and the more recent Super Cup champions. Aston Villa arrive with Unai Emery, a coach with extensive European knockout experience, and the momentum of a Europa League title.
The key contrast is likely to be PSG's ability to control possession against Villa's organization and transitions. Confirmed lineups and late injury news should be checked close to kickoff rather than inferred a day in advance.
Where to follow confirmed updates
UEFA's official match center provides the authoritative kickoff information, lineups, match events and result. Local television listings should be used for channel availability because a broadcaster available in one country may not carry the match in another.
Searches for unofficial free streams can lead to deceptive pages and malicious downloads. Use UEFA's where-to-watch information or a licensed broadcaster in your region.
