Super Cup 2026: PSG vs Aston Villa TV, Stream, Time & Tickets
Update log (1)
- — Written before kick-off. Team news is UEFA's predicted line-up and availability list as it stood on matchday; confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before the 8pm BST start, and this article does not carry a result.
- Kick-off is 8pm BST on Wednesday 12 August at Stadion Salzburg in Austria — 9pm local time. UK coverage is on TNT Sports, with build-up listed from 7pm, and streaming is through HBO Max rather than discovery+, which stopped carrying TNT Sports on 26 March 2026.
- If it is level after 90 minutes there is no extra time. UEFA’s own rules for this fixture send it straight to a penalty shoot-out — which is how PSG won it last year, beating Tottenham on penalties in Udine.
- Villa are missing six players and PSG none. UEFA’s matchday list rules out Bailey, Manzambi, Onana, Konsa, Martínez and Watkins for Villa — their goalkeeper and their centre-forward among them — while Paris list nobody as out and seven as doubtful on fitness.
- You cannot buy a ticket. The public application window closed on 23 June and places were allocated by lottery; the stadium is sold out, with 7,000 tickets to each club and 9,000 to the general public.
PSG vs Aston Villa kicks off at 8pm BST tonight, Wednesday 12 August 2026, at Stadion Salzburg in Austria. In the UK the match is on TNT Sports, and streaming has moved to HBO Max — if you still have discovery+ bookmarked for TNT Sports, that stopped working in March.
One rule worth knowing before you settle in: if it is level after 90 minutes there is no extra time. It goes straight to penalties.
What time is PSG vs Aston Villa in the UK?
8pm BST, which is 9pm in Salzburg. UEFA lists the kick-off as 21:00 CET; Austria and the UK are one hour apart on this date, checked across the whole day rather than assumed.
| Where | Kick-off |
|---|---|
| UK | 8:00pm BST |
| Salzburg | 9:00pm CEST |
| US Eastern | 3:00pm EDT |
| India | 12:30am Thu |
TNT Sports’ build-up is listed from 7pm, an hour before kick-off.
What channel is the Super Cup on in the UK?
TNT Sports. Its own fixtures page carries Paris Saint-Germain v Aston Villa at 20:00 on 12/08/2026, which is the confirmation that the UK rights sit there. Listings put the match on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate with coverage from 7pm.
Worth being precise about where that comes from: UEFA had not published its broadcast partners when this was written. Its own preview page says only that details “will be available in due course”, so the channel numbers below come from television listings rather than from UEFA or a TNT schedule page we could open.
| Route | What you need |
|---|---|
| TNT Sports 1 | TV subscription |
| TNT Sports Ultimate | TV subscription |
| HBO Max | TNT Sports plan |
How do you stream PSG vs Aston Villa?
Through HBO Max — not discovery+. This is the detail most likely to cost someone the first ten minutes tonight.
TNT Sports’ own explainer states that HBO Max launched in the UK and Ireland on 26 March 2026 and is the new streaming home of TNT Sports. Anyone who still has discovery+ for football will find the sport gone from it. Existing subscribers were told to download HBO Max and sign in with their old discovery+ details.
TNT Sports is offered either as a standalone plan or alongside HBO Max’s entertainment tiers, and people who subscribe through partners — Sky, Virgin Media, EE — access it in the same app. No price is printed here: TNT’s explainer sets out the plan structure but not the cost, and we are not repeating figures we could not read at source.
Who is missing for PSG and Aston Villa?
Villa are without six players; Paris have nobody ruled out. That is the single most lopsided thing about tonight, and it comes straight from UEFA’s matchday list.
| Club | Ruled out | Doubtful |
|---|---|---|
| Aston Villa | 6 | 2 |
| Paris | 0 | 7 |
Villa’s absentees are Bailey (muscular), Manzambi (knee), Onana (knee), plus Konsa, Martínez and Watkins on fitness. Losing a first-choice goalkeeper and centre-forward on the same night is the part that matters. Garnacho (facial) and McGinn (knee) are listed as doubtful.
Paris list no one as out, though seven are doubtful on fitness: Barcola, Dembélé, Doué, Fabián Ruiz, Hakimi, Lucas Hernández and Zaïre-Emery.
UEFA’s predicted line-ups:
- Paris: Safonov; Zabarnyi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Dro Fernández; Mbaye, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia
- Aston Villa: Bizot; Cash, Lindelöf, Pau Torres, Maatsen; João Gomes, Kamara; McGinn, Buendía, Garnacho; Abraham
Villa’s summer business could show up tonight: João Gomes from Wolves, Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea and Modou Kéba Cissé from LASK could all make competitive debuts. Paris added Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco last week.
Can you still get tickets?
No. The stadium is sold out and the sale closed in June.
UEFA ran a public application window that shut on 23 June 2026, with places allocated by lottery rather than first-come-first-served. Of the allocation, 9,000 tickets went to the general public and 7,000 to each club’s supporters, priced from €30 for the clubs’ fans and €50 for the general public. PSG sold their full allocation.
We are not linking or pricing resale sites. This connection has repeatedly been served non-UK currencies by ticket resale platforms, and for a UK reader on the afternoon of the match, a seat in Salzburg is not a realistic purchase in any case.
Who will win the Super Cup?
The record says the Champions League holders, but not overwhelmingly: they have won 30 of the 50 editions. That is 60% — a real edge, and a long way from a certainty.
Three things point the same way tonight. Paris are the Champions League holders and won this fixture last season. They have no one ruled out. And Villa are missing a first-choice goalkeeper and centre-forward.
Two things cut against it. These sides have met before, and it was close: PSG edged a 2024/25 Champions League quarter-final 5-4 on aggregate after Villa fought back from 5-1 down. And the format helps the underdog — no extra time means a Villa side that stays level for 90 minutes gets a shoot-out, where the Champions League holders’ squad depth counts for much less.
Only two teams have retained the Super Cup in the modern era: Real Madrid in 2016 and 2017. Paris are trying to become the third.
No betting odds appear in this article. Several of the pages ranking for tonight’s match are published by bookmakers; nothing from them is used here.
Bottom line
Eight o’clock, TNT Sports, and stream it on HBO Max rather than discovery+.
Villa arrive without six players including Martínez and Watkins, against a Paris side with nobody ruled out — but they have already taken this opponent to the wire once, and a level scoreline at 90 minutes means penalties rather than another half hour of Paris pressure.
If you are planning the rest of the season around TNT Sports, our Arsenal 2026/27 fixture and TV guide has the domestic schedule in the same format.

How we verified this
Everything about the match itself comes from UEFA’s own preview, read on matchday. The 21:00 CET kick-off, Stadion Salzburg as the venue, the predicted line-ups, the availability lists, the coaches’ and captains’ quotes, and the rule that this fixture goes straight to penalties without extra time are all taken from uefa.com’s Paris vs Aston Villa preview, last updated 12 August 2026.
The kick-off time was converted with a time zone database, not by subtracting an hour. Salzburg is on CEST and the UK on BST on this date, and the gap was checked across every hour of 12 August: it is one hour throughout. So 21:00 in Salzburg is 20:00 BST, 15:00 US Eastern, and 00:30 IST on Thursday.
🔴 UEFA had not published its broadcast partners at the time of writing, so the UK channel does not come from UEFA. Its own preview page says only that “details of local 2026 UEFA Super Cup broadcast partner(s) will be available in due course”. TNT Sports’ own site lists the fixture, at 20:00 on 12/08/2026, which confirms the rights sit there — but the specific channel numbers and the 7pm build-up time come from UK television listings and preview coverage, not from a TNT Sports schedule page we could open. Treat the channel as listings information rather than a first-party confirmation.
The streaming change is first-party and it is the thing most likely to catch people out. TNT Sports’ own explainer states that HBO Max launched in the UK and Ireland on 26 March 2026 and is the new streaming home of TNT Sports, replacing discovery+. Anyone opening discovery+ tonight will find nothing there.
No subscription price appears here. TNT Sports’ explainer describes the plan structure — a standalone TNT Sports plan, or bundled with HBO Max entertainment tiers, plus access through partners including Sky, Virgin Media and EE — but does not print a price on that page, and we did not reach a checkout. Figures quoted elsewhere are not repeated.
🚫 No betting odds or prediction-market prices appear anywhere in this article. Several of the pages that rank for this fixture are published by bookmakers. Nothing from them is used here, and the “who wins” section is built from UEFA’s availability list, the competition’s own historical record and the two clubs’ only previous meeting.
Ticket details are UEFA’s and the sale is closed. The general public application window ran to 23 June 2026 and was allocated by lottery, with 9,000 tickets for the general public and 7,000 for each club’s supporters; prices started at €30 for the clubs’ fans and €50 for the general public. The match is sold out. No resale platform is linked or priced — this connection has repeatedly been served non-UK currencies by resale sites, and a Salzburg ticket is not a realistic purchase for a UK reader on the afternoon of the match anyway.
