Why PSG and Aston Villa qualified
PSG enter as Champions League holders and defending Super Cup winners. They won the 2025 edition after recovering from two goals down against Tottenham, drawing 2-2 and then winning the shootout 4-3. PSG are attempting to become only the second club in the modern era to retain the trophy after Real Madrid did so in 2016 and 2017.
Aston Villa qualified as Europa League champions. The English club has appeared in this competition once before, beating Barcelona over two legs in the 1982 edition. This will be Villa's first Super Cup appearance in more than four decades.
What happens if the match is tied?
There is no extra time in the UEFA Super Cup under the current format. If PSG and Aston Villa are level at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time, the winner will be decided immediately by a penalty shootout.
That rule differs from many knockout finals that play two 15-minute periods before penalties. It also means substitutions and late-game decisions may be shaped by the possibility of an immediate shootout.
Venue and ticket information
Stadion Salzburg is hosting a showcase UEFA club final for the first time. UEFA listed a net capacity of 28,500 for ticket allocation, with 7,000 tickets assigned to each finalist and 9,000 offered through the general-public lottery.
The original public application window closed on June 23. UEFA warns that tickets bought through unauthorized sellers can be invalid and says its official resale process is the safe route for eligible supporters. Ticket holders should use UEFA's event guide for entry, transport and fan-zone details.
