Watch PSG vs Aston Villa live streams in the UEFA Super Cup 2026 as the Champions League winners face the Europa League holders at Salzburg's Red Bull Arena in Austria.
Luis Enrique's all-conquering Parisians contest the annual curtain-raiser to the continental football season for the second successive year, having retained the Champions League in 2025/26 with a penalty shoot-out victory over Arsenal . That win extended PSG's unbeaten run against English sides in Europe to nine games, including this fixture 12 months ago against Tottenham . PSG failed to win either of their two pre-season friendlies – a 1-1 draw with Man Utd and 3-0 defeat by Real Mallorca – but should have all their World Cup 2026 stars available in some form, plus the low-slung genius of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The last English team to beat PSG was Villa in the second leg of their 2024/25 Champions League quarter-final as the Brummies return to the Super Cup for the first time since the 1982 edition, confusingly held in January 1983. The reigning European champions beat Barcelona 3-1 on aggregate for their most recent major continental trophy, before beating German side Freiburg 3-0 in last season's Europa League final . After four years' progress under Unai Emery, the former PSG boss will look for more silverware, a tricky prospect after the club lost Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers this summer.
Three of Villa's new signings – center-back Modou Keba Cisse, midfielder Joao Gomes and winger Alejandro Garnacho – could make their debuts, while Lucas Digne may line up for their opponents after the full-back joined PSG last weekend.
