UEFA Super Cup 2024: PSG vs Aston Villa match details, start time and broadcast

The UEFA Super Cup will pit the reigning Champions League champions against the Europa League winners for the season’s marquee showdown, scheduled for August 15 at the newly renovated Stade de France in Paris. The 71‑year‑old stadium, which boasts a 80,000‑seat capacity and state‑of‑the‑art pitch technology, was selected by UEFA in March after a competitive bidding process that highlighted its recent upgrades and central location. The match will be broadcast live across Europe and in key markets worldwide, with ticket sales opening next week and a limited allocation for club supporters.

Since its inception in 1972, the Super Cup has served as a one‑off contest to crown Europe’s ultimate club side, traditionally held at neutral venues but increasingly rotating among host cities to broaden the competition’s appeal. Past editions have seen iconic clashes, including Barcelona’s 2015 triumph over Sevilla and Liverpool’s 2019 victory over Chelsea, each adding to the fixture’s reputation for high‑intensity football. The upcoming encounter marks the first time Paris will host the event since 1998, and it follows a season in which the Champions League winners secured a record‑breaking 23‑goal haul in the final, while the Europa League champions claimed their title with a dramatic penalty shoot‑out.

The Super Cup will therefore not only provide a preview of the forthcoming domestic campaigns but also continue the tournament’s legacy of showcasing Europe’s elite clubs on a grand stage. Organisers anticipate a sell‑out crowd, robust global viewership, and a competitive match that could set the tone for the clubs’ ambitions in the coming season.
