How to watch Tottenham vs PSG UEFA Super Cup: TV channel, live stream, kick-off time
Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur take on the winners of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain, in the Italian city of Udine on Wednesday, with the UEFA Super Cup up for grabs
Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are set to do battle for the UEFA Super Cup nearly three months after their European trophy successes. Spurs ended a 17-year trophy drought with Europa League victory over Manchester United in May.
Now under the guidance of Thomas Frank, Tottenham will be looking to add another accolade to their cabinet on Wednesday after their triumph in Bilbao, but the Champions League winners stand in their way.
Luis Enrique's PSG demolished Inter Milan in their final and carried plenty of momentum into the Club World Cup this summer, where Chelsea bested them in the showpiece. The French champions will face another English opponent in Udine, and Mirror Football brings you all you need to know ahead of the Super Cup, including timings and how to watch live.

What have the managers said ahead of the UEFA Super Cup?
Thomas Frank, speaking to UEFA: "We're playing in a final; it's fantastic. Hopefully we can use some of the experience we have from the last final that the team played against Manchester United.
"[Paris] are the best team in Europe. They won the treble and it looks like they are extremely strong in all 11 starting positions. It's a fantastic challenge to have in the first game but, of course, we believe in ourselves.
"We're going to a final and there will be one objective – try to win it. We don't see it as a test; we see it as two good teams against each other, and we want to win."
Luis Enrique, speaking to UEFA: "The aim for this upcoming season is to improve. In terms of titles, it's going to be harder because there are more to play for.
"But in footballing terms, I think we'll improve as a team, both in attack and defence. I believe we can still identify phases of the game to get better in.
"In terms of titles, we want to be ready to go for all of them. Of course, we all believe that we can win all of them and repeat this feat again this year, which would mean going down in history in true style, and that gives us special motivation."
What is the UEFA Super Cup?
The competition was established in 1972, after Dutch journalist Anton Witkamp proposed a match to decide who was the best club side in Europe.
Ajax and Rangers contested the inaugural match over 50 years ago, but UEFA didn't recognise the competition until the following year.
It was initially played between the European Cup winners and the victors of the Cup Winners' Cup. When the latter was discontinued, it became a clash between the Champions League and Europa League winners.
