Tottenham can tonight begin the 2025-26 season by winning a trophy as they take on Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup.
Spurs qualified for this one-off showdown by lifting the Europa League in Bilbao last season, ending their 17-year trophy drought in the process. But plenty has changed at the club since then, namely Ange Postecoglou being replaced by Thomas Frank.
It has been a summer of mixed results for Tottenham, who have experienced the highs of beating Arsenal, the lows of a 4-0 defeat at Bayern Munich, and the anonymity of a goalless draw at Luton Town in their pre-season outings.
It is a baptism of fire for Frank, who will hope to pull off a shock upset in his first competitive outing as Spurs’ head coach.
It has been a challenging summer for PSG, who were beaten finalists in July’s Club World Cup final and have not played since.
They cruised to a first Champions League title last season and will hope to revive that form in Udine as they chase another European honour.

PSG vs Tottenham is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight, Wednesday, August 13, 2025.

PSG vs Tottenham team news
Thomas Frank has confirmed Dominic Solanke is fit after missing all but one pre-season game with an ankle injury.
Destiny Udogie has also been deemed fit to fly, though is unlikely to feature. Meanwhile, Yves Bissouma has not made the trip to Italy due to a disciplinary issue.
PSG’s pre-match camp has been rocked by the news of Gianluigi Donnarumma’s absence. The towering Italian has been left out of the squad amid reports he is set to leave the club this summer.
New signing Lucas Chevalier is set to start between the sticks.
Joao Neves is suspended for the tie after he was sent off in the Club World Cup final for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair.
PSG vs Tottenham prediction
Frank has his work cut out for him in this, the first competitive outing of his Tottenham tenure.
PSG, at their best, are unplayable, as demonstrated when they tore Inter Milan limb from limb in the Champions League final earlier this year.
They were effectively neutralised, though, by Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. Frank is renowned as an astute tactician and could also find a way to throw a spanner in PSG machine.
But that is a tall ask against a star-studded side. It will take something spectacular for Spurs to bring a second trophy of the year back to north London.
PSG to win, 3-1
