Each team was allowed a maximum of three substitution opportunities in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup.
The match rules listed a maximum of five substitutions and a maximum of three substitution opportunities. These are separate limits: a team could replace up to five players, but had to do so across no more than three stoppages of play, excluding half-time.
The regulations also allowed each side to name up to twelve substitutes. Paris Saint-Germain used changes during the match, including introducing Ousmane Dembélé before he assisted Désiré Doué’s winning goal.
A common mix-up is answering five because that was the substitution limit. The question asks about opportunities, meaning the number of times a team could interrupt play to make substitutions. The correct number for that rule was three.
