Stan Sport has the Australian rights, and kick-off lands at 5:00am AEST on Thursday 13 August. Here's the full rundown.

Aston Villa haven't played a UEFA Super Cup since January 1983. They won that one, beating Barcelona 3-1 on aggregate, and it has taken 44 years to get back.

Standing in the way are Paris Saint-Germain, back-to-back Champions League winners and the reigning Super Cup holders.

For Australian punters the match streams live on Stan Sport from 5:00am AEST on Thursday 13 August, with no free-to-air option.

PSG v Aston Villa: The Details

• Competition: 2026 UEFA Super Cup
• Date: Wednesday 12 August 2026 local time, Thursday 13 August in Australia
• Venue: Stadion Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria (capacity 30,071)
• Kick-off: 21:00 CEST, which is 5:00am AEST
• Broadcast in Australia: Stan Sport, live and on demand
• Referee: Omar Artan of Somalia, the first non-European to take charge of a Super Cup

Salzburg is a first for this fixture. No UEFA Super Cup has been played in Austria before, and the stadium's biggest previous outing was hosting three matches at Euro 2008.

Start Times Across Australia

August means no daylight saving anywhere in the country, so the conversions are clean.

• AEST (NSW, VIC, QLD, ACT, TAS): 5:00am Thursday 13 August
• ACST (SA, NT): 4:30am Thursday 13 August
• AWST (WA): 3:00am Thursday 13 August

Stan Sport carries the match live with replays and on-demand access afterwards, so the east coast crowd who'd rather not set a 5:00am alarm can catch it later in the day.

How PSG and Aston Villa Got Here

PSG qualified as Champions League winners for the second year running. They drew 1-1 with Arsenal in the final on 30 May before taking the shootout 4-3, which made them the first club to retain the trophy since Real Madrid's run last decade.

Villa got here through the Europa League, and they did it comfortably. Unai Emery's side beat Freiburg 3-0 in the Istanbul final on 20 May for the club's first Europa League title.

Emery now has a stack of European trophies to his name, and it's the first continental silverware Villa have lifted since their European Cup and Super Cup double in the early 1980s.

The Recent History Between These Two

They met in the 2024/25 Champions League quarter-finals and it was close to an upset. PSG won the first leg 3-1 in Paris, then Villa took the return 3-2 at Villa Park and had PSG hanging on. The French side went through 5-4 on aggregate and went on to win the competition.

That result matters for how this one gets read. Villa have already shown they can hurt this PSG side at full strength, and the gap between the two sides on the night was one goal across 180 minutes.

Format: Straight to Penalties

One rule worth knowing before you get on. If the score is level after 90 minutes, the match goes directly to a penalty shoot-out.

No extra time. PSG have been here before, winning the 2025 Super Cup from a shootout after drawing 2-2 with Tottenham, and they came from two goals down to force it.

Beyond the standard head-to-head and match result markets, the shoot-out rule shapes a few of the options. Draw markets settle on the 90-minute score, while "to lift the trophy" markets account for penalties, so the two aren't the same bet.

Total goals, both teams to score, first goalscorer and correct score all run as usual.

Timing is the thing to weigh up. Villa don't start their Premier League campaign until 22 August, ten days after this, so both squads arrive with pre-season legs and no competitive football behind them.

Team selection is rarely full strength for either side, sharpness tends to be patchy, and one-off cup matches in August have a habit of ignoring the form book.
