Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa meet in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, August 12, and here are all the details on how to watch this match live in the United States. Here are all of the details of where you can watch PSG vs Aston Villa on US television and via legal streaming: WHO: PSG vs Aston Villa WHAT: UEFA Super Cup WHEN: 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT • Wednesday, August 12, 2026 WHERE: Fubo, Paramount+, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, CBS Sports Network, Univision, TUDN, ViX. STREAM: WATCH NOW Match Overview The European season kicks off with a heavyweight clash as Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain take on Europa League winners Aston Villa for the UEFA Super Cup. For PSG, this is an opportunity to cement their status as the continent’s dominant force and secure back-to-back Super Cup titles, a feat not achieved since 2017. Under the guidance of serial winner Luis Enrique, the French champions aim to add another piece of silverware to their rapidly growing collection. Standing in their way is an ambitious Aston Villa side, led by European specialist Unai Emery. Fresh off a triumphant Europa League campaign and a top-four Premier League finish, Villa are eager to prove they belong among Europe’s elite. With a Super Cup victory over Barcelona in their history from 1982, the English club has a pedigree of its own and will be determined to make a statement against the reigning kings of Europe. Tactical Analysis & Match Context This fixture pits two clubs on impressive trajectories against one another. PSG solidified their dominance last season by becoming only the second club in the modern era to win consecutive Champions League titles. Their high-powered offense scored more goals than any other team in the competition, consistently outperforming their expected goals and showcasing a ruthless finishing ability that is expected to continue this season. Aston Villa, meanwhile, enjoyed a stellar season, capturing the Europa League trophy and securing a fourth-place finish in the Premier League. Their journey also included a narrow 5-4 aggregate loss to this same PSG side in the 2024/25 Champions League quarter-finals, demonstrating their ability to compete at the highest level. The tactical battle will likely see PSG’s possession-based, high-pressing style clash with Villa’s organized defense and lethal counter-attacking capabilities. The motivations for both teams are clear. Luis Enrique and PSG are looking to start their season with a trophy and continue building their dynasty. For Unai Emery and Aston Villa, this match is a benchmark. A victory would not only add to their European honors but also serve as a powerful declaration that they are ready to challenge the continent’s established powerhouses on a consistent basis. Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends The history between PSG and Aston Villa is brief but explosive. Their only two competitive meetings occurred during the 2024/25 Champions League quarter-finals, a tie that produced a thrilling nine goals. PSG ultimately advanced 5-4 on aggregate, but the two legs revealed a closely matched and highly entertaining contest. The first leg saw PSG secure a crucial 3-1 victory at the Parc des Princes. However, in the return fixture at Villa Park, Aston Villa mounted a spirited comeback, winning the match 3-2. Though it wasn’t enough to overturn the deficit, the result proved Villa could go toe-to-toe with the French giants and find the back of their net. Statistically, the most significant trend is that both teams scored in each of their previous encounters. Villa holds a strong historical record against French opponents, with seven wins from 13 matches. PSG, conversely, is well-acquainted with English competition, having faced Premier League clubs 44 times, emerging with 18 victories. These trends suggest an open, attacking game is likely on Wednesday. Squad News & Projected Lineups Both managers are contending with significant roster challenges as many key p

Arsenal made a mistake selling Leandro Trossard to Besiktas, says Ben Foster (Picture: Getty) Former England goalkeeper Ben Foster says he ‘can’t believe’ Arsenal allowed such an ‘influential’ squad member leave in Leandro Trossard this summer. Trossard played a key role as the Gunners brought their 22-year title drought to an end last season, finishing the top-flight campaign with six assists and six goals to his name. But the 31-year-old made it clear he was keen for a fresh challenge after two-and-a-half seasons in north London and went on to complete a move to Turkish giants Besiktas for a fee of just £15.3million. The Premier League champions had made sure to line up a like-for-like replacement in the shape of Christos Tzolis, who touched down at the Emirates to fill the void left by the Belgian on the left wing.

But Tzolis’ only previous experience of English football – a two-year spell with Norwich City – hardly set the world alight and there will be pressure on the Greece international to justify the £34m that Arsenal spent to sign the forward from Club Brugge. Arsenal had hoped to further strengthen their attack with a statement move for Vinicius Junior and were optimistic of prising the Brazilian away from Real Madrid right up until last week. Vinicius would go on to sign a new long-term contract at the Bernabeu, though, and it remains to be seen if the Gunners will focus their attentions on a possible alternative before the transfer deadline. Trossard brought his Arsenal spell to an end after two-and-a-half years in north London (Picture: Getty) The Belgian won the Premier League title with the Gunners last season (Picture: Getty) ‘I don’t like the Trossard sale, I really don’t,’ Foster said when discussing Arsenal’s transfer dealings on talkSPORT. I think he’s such a big, influential player for them and I can’t believe they’ve sold him. But on Bruno Guimaraes’ arrival, Foster added: ‘Big signing, I like him a lot.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Martin Odegaard heads ball directly into police officer during Arsenal parade","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/06\/01\/188721103218914644\/480x270_MP4_188721103218914644.mp4","description":"Whoops!","duration":"T8S","height":480,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/06\/01\/12\/109008017-0-image-a-36_1780314932393.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-06-01T12:52:23+0100","width":270} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); According to Foster, the title race appears wide open before a ball has been kicked this season.

It was third time lucky this summer in the history of Youri Tielemans and Manchester United. The club seriously looked at the Belgium midfielder in 2019, after he had impressed in an initial loan spell at Leicester City, and again in 2022, as they spent too long holding out for Frenkie de Jong to decide if he was prepared to leave Barcelona.
PSG and Aston Villa decide the first champion of the European season at the 2026 UEFA Super Cup final, where Omar Artan will be the match referee. The man in the middle for Wednesday’s UEFA Super Cup 2026 final between PSG and Aston Villa is Omar Artan, a 34-year-old Somali official who becomes the first non-European referee to take charge of the fixture in its history. Artan was appointed to the match in Salzburg, Austria, in what marks his first assignment on a European pitch. The appointment carries extra weight given what Artan went through just months earlier. He was denied entry into the United States at Miami International Airport ahead of the 2026 World Cup, with U.S. authorities citing security concerns. The incident forced him out of officiating at the tournament and sparked outrage back home. Reflecting on the experience, Artan told UEFA: “A lot of people have sympathy for me, because when someone has been working a lot of years and is supposed to do something, and then can’t do it, it’s very challenging“. On his Super Cup appointment, he added: “I was lucky, but I have worked very hard to be here and I’m really proud“. Artan’s refereeing record Artan has built one of the most decorated résumés among African officials in recent years. He became the first Somali referee to officiate at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2024, a milestone for a country with limited footballing infrastructure, and was subsequently recognized as Africa’s leading referee for his performances that season. #SuperCup referee Omar Artan has touched down in Salzburg 🇸🇴🛬🇦🇹 pic.twitter.com/t4mwbPwFEZ— UEFA (@UEFA) August 10, 2026 His CV also includes the 2025 CAF Champions League final, one of the most prestigious club fixtures on the continent, before FIFA selected him for the 2026 World Cup — an appointment that never materialized due to his U.S. entry denial. Wednesday’s Super Cup final now stands as the biggest match of his career to date, and his first ever in Europe. The full officiating team for PSG vs Aston Villa Artan will be assisted on the touchline by Liban Abdoulrazack Ahmed of Djibouti as first assistant referee and Stephen Eleazar Onyango Yiembe of Kenya as second assistant, while Slovenia’s Rade Obrenovič takes charge as the fourth official. In the VAR booth, Marco Di Bello of Italy will serve as the Video Assistant Referee, with Guillermo Cuadra Fernández of Spain assisting him as AVAR — rounding out a team that, like Artan himself, reflects just how far UEFA has widened its pool of match officials for its showpiece fixtures.
