UEFA Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain will face UEFA Europa League winner Aston Villa in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, August 12. UEFA’s official event guide identifies Stadion Salzburg in Austria as the venue for the single-match fixture. NBC Sports lists a 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff for viewers in the United States.
Confirmed match details
The official competition name is the 2026 UEFA Super Cup. The event brings together the champions of UEFA’s two club competitions in one match. PSG qualified through its Champions League title, while Aston Villa earned its place through its Europa League title. UEFA’s preview confirms the August 12 date and Stadion Salzburg venue. Those points form the verified framework for this pre-match guide.
Where to watch in the United States
UEFA’s country-by-country broadcast partner list names Paramount+ and TUDN for the United States. Paramount+ also displays the Super Cup on its own UEFA football page. NBC Sports lists Paramount+ as a streaming option and CBS Sports Network as a television channel. Access may depend on location and the viewer’s existing service package, so the current schedule should be checked directly in the relevant platform.
How to read the kickoff time
The 3:00 p.m. ET listing in NBC Sports’ United States guide uses Eastern Time. Viewers in other time zones should confirm the local conversion through their device calendar or the official broadcast application. Any late schedule adjustment should also appear in those services. Checking the listing again close to kickoff reduces the risk of relying on an outdated conversion or an earlier program entry.
The format in Salzburg
The Super Cup is not a league round or a two-leg knockout tie. It is a single match that awards one trophy. UEFA’s event guide says a level score after normal time will be decided by a penalty shoot-out. The final result, score and match events can only be confirmed after play begins, using UEFA’s official match centre and reliable live coverage.
Official lineups are still required
Predicted lineups published before the match are not official team sheets. Starting players, substitutes and late changes become confirmed through the clubs and UEFA on matchday. Unverified lineup projections should therefore not be presented as settled information. The same caution applies to claims about injuries, tactical plans or an individual player’s role unless they are included in an attributable official update.
What is known before kickoff
The verified picture is limited and clear: PSG will play Aston Villa, the fixture is scheduled for August 12 at Stadion Salzburg, and UEFA’s United States partner list includes Paramount+ and TUDN. NBC Sports additionally lists the 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff and CBS Sports Network option. The score, official lineups and in-match developments are not yet known, so this guide stays within confirmed pre-match information.
Where later updates should come from
UEFA’s match page is the primary reference for competition details and the official match record. The clubs’ verified channels are the appropriate sources for team sheets and squad changes. Broadcasters remain the best source for access and program updates in each country. Using those separate official channels helps distinguish fixed event details from information that can still change before kickoff.
