How many editions had the UEFA Super Cup reached in 2026?

The story behind the answer

The 2026 UEFA Super Cup was the competition’s 51st edition.

UEFA stages the Super Cup annually between the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. Paris Saint-Germain qualified as Champions League holders, while Aston Villa qualified as Europa League holders.

The 2025 match had been the 50th edition. Paris Saint-Germain won that contest against Tottenham Hotspur on penalties, making the 2026 fixture the next numbered edition rather than a separate competition.

The numbering can be confusing because the Super Cup’s early history did not always follow the modern one-match format. Some early editions were played over two legs, and several matches took place in a different calendar year from the season they represented. Nevertheless, UEFA identifies the 2026 contest as the 51st edition.
