August 12, 2026 — PSG vs Aston Villa in Salzburg at 21:00 CEST
The 51st UEFA Super Cup is Wednesday, August 12, at Stadion Salzburg. Kickoff is 21:00 CEST. Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain meet Europa League winners Aston Villa — Europe’s two spring champions on one August midweek card.
UEFA’s papers say Stadion Salzburg; locals still call it Red Bull Arena. Same bowl, sponsorship-stripped for the broadcast graphic.
Confirmed: Aug 12 Salzburg PSG–Villa — not a UCL final rematch, not Community Shield, not Vienna
Confirmed: Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 21:00 CEST; Stadion Salzburg; PSG vs Aston Villa; first Super Cup in Austria; first major UEFA club final in Salzburg; PSG defending the Super Cup. Not confirmed as final scoreline memes. Fake “Super Cup at Ernst-Happel Vienna” or “another UCL final night” stubs invent a corridor UEFA already closed for Salzburg.

Austria’s first Super Cup — and Salzburg’s first major European club final — lands on a Wednesday in August
Vienna’s Ernst-Happel has soaked up Austria’s big European nights for decades. UEFA skipped the capital and gave 2026’s Super Cup to Salzburg’s FC Red Bull home — the first time the Super Cup, or any major UEFA club final, has been played there.
Pair that venue first with a PSG–Villa card (Champions League vs Europa League royalty) and the midweek 21:00 kick stops reading like a random August friendly. It is a new city on the Super Cup map, defending holders included.
