Paris Saint-Germain had won one UEFA Super Cup before the 2026 final.
Paris claimed its first title in the 2025 edition, defeating Tottenham Hotspur after a penalty shoot-out in Udine. The match had finished 2–2 after extra time, and Paris won the shoot-out 4–3.
That 2025 victory made Paris the first French club to lift the UEFA Super Cup. The club had appeared once before, in the 1996 edition, when it represented the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and lost to Juventus 9–2 on aggregate.
Paris then defeated Aston Villa 2–1 in 2026, becoming the third club to win consecutive Super Cups. The total before the final is therefore one, while the total after the match became two. This distinction is important because questions about the club’s Super Cup history may refer either to its pre-match total or its final total.
