Which team was the 2026 UEFA Super Cup’s Champions League entrant?

The story behind the answer

Paris Saint-Germain was the 2026 UEFA Super Cup’s Champions League entrant.

PSG qualified by winning the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League. That victory gave the French club a place in the Super Cup against Aston Villa, the winners of the corresponding Europa League season.

The final was therefore a meeting between the holders of Europe’s two principal men’s club competitions. PSG arrived as the reigning Super Cup champion as well, having beaten Tottenham Hotspur in the 2025 edition.

Paris justified its status by defeating Villa 2–1 in Salzburg. Kvaratskhelia scored first, Madjo equalised for the English side, and Doué supplied the winning goal. The result made PSG the first club since Real Madrid’s 2016–17 run to retain the trophy in consecutive seasons.
