PSG vs Tottenham: Time, where to watch and what to expect from the 2025 UEFA Super Cup final
Champions League winners face Europa League champions in season-opening clash
Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur will battle for the 2025 UEFA Super Cup this Wednesday (13 August) at the Bluenergy Stadium, in Udine. Kick-off is set for 20:00 (CET), with live coverage on TNT Sports and HBO Max starting at 19:30.
The match marks the official start of the European football season, pitting last season’s Champions League winners against Europa League champions. For PSG, it’s a chance to win the Super Cup for the first time in club history, while Tottenham aim to upset the odds and claim their second major European trophy in two seasons.
PSG the Favourites, Spurs Eye Upset
Luis Enrique’s PSG enter as clear favourites thanks to their star-studded squad, high-possession style, and proven record in decisive matches. However, their recent struggles against compact, counter-attacking teams could open the door for Tottenham to spring a surprise.
The London side, managed by Thomas Frank, will likely adopt a defensive, counter-attacking approach, using quick transitions to challenge PSG’s back line. The absence of former captain Son Heung-min is a blow, but Spurs are banking on their collective strength to bridge the gap.
Tactical Battle and Season Significance
Enrique is expected to stick with his pressing and early-goal strategy to force Tottenham out of their defensive shell. For Frank, the key will be balancing defensive discipline with selective attacking bursts.
Beyond the silverware, the UEFA Super Cup serves as a barometer for both sides’ readiness ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, offering clues about how they might fare in their domestic and European competitions.
