The first European trophy of the 2025/26 season will be handed out on Wednesday as Champions League title winners Paris Saint-Germain meet Europa League champions Tottenham in Italy for the annual UEFA Super Cup.

PSG are coming off a triumphant campaign that saw them finally summit the mountain they have chased for years, but they will be eager to prove they are still kings of Europe after falling to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final earlier this summer.

Spurs, meanwhile, are under new management from their European title just months ago. The Europa League trophy wasn’t enough to save Ange Postecoglou’s job, having finished 17th in the Premier League, so Thomas Frank was brought on board to turn things around.

The Sporting News is following the PSG vs. Tottenham match live, providing score updates, commentary, and analysis.

PSG vs. Tottenham live updates, highlights from UEFA Super Cup

23rd min: Chance, Tottenham! What a brilliant save by Lucas Chevalier to keep Spurs from scoring the opener! PSG turn the ball over in midfield, and Spurs break through Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison. The Brazilian goes for goal from about 22 yards out, but Chevalier, who is well out of his net, leaps high in the air to tip the ball over the crossbar!

An exceptional counter-attack only turned away by an ever more glittering save!

21st min: Spurs have not exactly troubled Lucas Chevalier on his PSG debut, but the Europa League winners have indeed been the better side thus far. They’ve managed the better attacking moves, and are out-shooting PSG 3-1 at the moment. The French side has enjoyed very little to savor in the attacking third thus far.

9th min: Chance, PSG! The Champions League winners have their first move forward into the Tottenham penalty area, brilliantly pinging the ball from individual to individual in a delicious one-touch move. Ultimately, it’s just missing the finish as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia spins and sends the ball weakly wide of the frame.

Spurs have been impressive thus far, but they still have defensive work to do against such eye-popping ball movement such as that.

Kickoff: They’re under way in Udine, as the Portuguese officiating crew signals the start of the match!

PSG vs. Tottenham: Pre-match commentary, analysis, more

15 mins to kickoff: Today’s Italian scene is almost ready! Will PSG keep to the script and hoist a fifth trophy under Luis Enrique, or will Spurs pull off the upset? Kickoff is nearly here!

30 mins to kickoff: One of PSG’s most globally unheralded players last season was captain Marquinhos. The Brazilian defender has had a remarkable career, and remains one of the club’s most influential players. If he wins today, he would become one of the 10 most decorated players in European football history.

45 mins to kickoff: Tottenham are huge underdogs in this match, with 11 of the last 12 UEFA Super Cups finishing with the reigning Champions League holder lifting the trophy. Yet if Spurs would like to find some bit of history on their side, look no further than the revelation that six of the previous seven Premier League clubs in UEFA Super Cup history won the title on their first attempt, with only Arsenal failing to do so in 1995.

1 hour to kickoff: Lineups are in, and there’s an interesting quirk on both sides.

For PSG, Gianluigi Donnarumma isn’t the only regular starter from last season who might be suddenly worried about their place in the team. Fabian Ruiz has also been dropped from midfield, replaced by Desire Doue in a very attack-minded lineup from Luis Enrique. Bradley Barcola moves into the attack to fill the gap.

On the other side, Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has deployed a 3-5-2 formation, with Kevin Danso added to the defensive line as a third centre-back. Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus are the two forwards up front.

1 hour 15 mins to kick: Today’s venue, the home of Italian club Udinese, is a unique venue. The roof is lined almost entirely with 2,409 solar panels that generate 3,000 kWh per day, 70% of which goes to the entirely self-sufficient stadium and the rest sent to outside sources.

1 hour 30 mins to kick: WhoScored has named a combined XI for the two sides today, and when it comes to pure statistical prowess, PSG are the dominant force in this match. Only Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario makes the lineup which is otherwise dominated by 10 PSG outfield players, and Vicario is likely only in the mix given Gianluigi Donnarumma’s exile from the French side.

What changes would you make to this lineup?

1 hour 45 mins to kick: Ahead of today’s match, Tottenham have named defender Cristian Romero as the club’s new captain under Thomas Frank, with Son Heung-min having departed for MLS. It’s a real statement of dedication by the club for a player who at one point was rumoured to be leaving this summer.

2 hours to kickoff: Today, PSG will begin a new era as Champions League title winners, but also having moved on from superstar goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. They will roll out Lucas Chevalier who joined from Lille this summer, and whom manager Luis Enrique has chosen to lead the team.

It’s a bold and risky move by the manager, as Donnarumma is undoubtedly a top-five goalkeeper in the world, if not higher. Donnarumma’s future is the subject of great speculation, but for today the spotlight will be on his replacement.

PSG vs. Tottenham lineups, team news

Goalkeeping star Gianluigi Donnarumma, who played an enormous role in PSG’s Champions League triumph last season and has been at the heart of the club’s success in recent years, was left out of the squad for this match, indicating he could be on his way out amidst a contract dispute.

PSG spent big money on securing Lucas Chevalier this summer as a replacement in net, and much of the recent reporting indicates he is seen as the club’s No. 1 moving forward, with Donnarumma likely set for an exit.

Also missing for PSG is Joao Neves, who is suspended for this match as his red card in the Club World Cup final will carry over. Neves was sent off late in the game for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair in PSG’s 3-0 defeat, and Warren Zaire-Emery is preferred as the replacement over Senny Mayulu, who picked up a slight thigh injury. They do, however, get defender William Pacho back after he was suspended for the final two Club World Cup matches after a red card earlier in the competition.

Interestingly, Desire Doue has been deployed in midfield over last year’s regular starter Fabian Ruiz, with Bradley Barcola installed along the front line.

PSG starting lineup (4-3-3): Chevalier (GK) — Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes — Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Doue — Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

PSG subs: Safonov (GK), Marin (GK), Beraldo, L. Hernandez, Kamara, Ruiz, Mbaye, Ramos, Lee.

Tottenham’s seemingly endless injury struggles from last season appear to have carried over to the new campaign. Spurs lost James Maddison to an ACL injury in preseason, while Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin aren’t expected to be back from last season’s knee issues for another month at least.

There is some good news, however, as Dominic Solanke has been confirmed as available for the game, although he does not start. Destiny Udogie is not quite ready to return, though, and Yves Bissouma was left back at home for what the Spurs boss described as “disciplinary reasons.”

Frank will have to decide what his best attacking setup is throughout the season, with Brennan Johnson, Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Richarlison, and Wilson Odobert all in the mix for three or four starting spots. Today, he’s opted for an intriguing 3-5-2 formation with Kudus and Richarlison up top.

Tottenham starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Vicario (GK) — Romero, Danso, Van de Ven — Porro, Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr, Spence — Kudus, Richarlison.

Tottenham subs: Kinsky (GK), Austin (GK), Davies, Byfield, Vuskovic, Gray, Bergvall, Tel, Johnson, Odobert, Solanke.
