The UEFA Executive Committee selected the 2026 UEFA Super Cup host during a meeting in Tirana, Albania.
The decision was made on 11 September 2025, when the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg was chosen to stage the match. The final was subsequently played there on 12 August 2026, with Paris Saint-Germain defeating Aston Villa 2–1.
Tirana was the location of the decision-making meeting, not the venue of the final. Salzburg became the host city, and the match was played in Austria. This distinction matters because UEFA often announces venues during executive meetings held in cities different from the selected stadium’s location.
The selection also gave Austria its first UEFA Super Cup. Salzburg became the first Austrian city to host the competition and the first Salzburg location to stage a major European club final.
