The 2026 UEFA Super Cup will be the first major trophy on the line in the 2026-27 season. But when and where to watch the match where the UEFA Champions League winners take on the UEFA Europa League champions.
The UEFA Super Cup is the annual match that kicks off the European season. The defending UCL and UEL winners take on each other for the ultimate European supremacy.
While it may just be a single match, it is a major trophy that the two teams will want to get in their cabinet. And if not for the glory, a winning start to their season against a formidable team wouldn’t hurt either.
The 2026 UEFA Super Cup will be played in the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, home to Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg.

Paris Saint-Germain come into this game as back-to-back Champions League winners. Having not won the biggest trophy in European club football in their history, they have now won it twice in two years, becoming the only consecutive UCL winners this millennium after Real Madrid. Won it three times between 2016 and 2018.
PSG also won their domestic league, Ligue 1, fairly comfortably. However, they missed out on the treble, as they were eliminated in the round of 32 of France’s premier cup competition, the Coupe de France.
As for Aston Villa, the historic club had fallen prey to mediocrity over the last three decades. They even fell to the second division in the 2010s. However, in recent years, the Birmingham-based team has been reclaiming some of the honour they lost throughout the decades with consistent European football.
The jewel in their crown was their winning the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League, thrashing German side SC Freiburg in the final to lift their first European trophy since winning the European Cup (precursor to the Champions League) and the Super Cup in 1982.
