Paramount+ has confirmed the return of its Winter Festival Of Football, bringing a packed schedule of international club football to audiences across Australia and New Zealand in 2026.
The streaming platform will exclusively broadcast matches from three major tournaments running from late July through to mid-August, with clubs including Chelsea FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Manchester City, Inter Milan and Juventus FC set to feature.
The centrepiece of the event is the Sydney Super Cup, which will see English Premier League rivals Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC travel to Sydney for a series of matches against A-League opposition and each other.
The tournament opens with Chelsea FC facing the Western Sydney Wanderers at Accor Stadium on 28 July, before Tottenham Hotspur FC takes on Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium on 29 July.
The headline fixture between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC will then be played at Accor Stadium on 1 August.
Women’s football will also form part of the festival, with Chelsea Women’s set to play the A-League All Stars Women at Allianz Stadium on 12 August.
Outside Australia, the Hong Kong Football Festival at Kai Tak Sports Park will feature Manchester City against Inter Milan on 1 August, followed by Chelsea FC taking on Juventus FC on 5 August.
In New Zealand, the NZ International Football Festival at Eden Park in Auckland begins with Tottenham Hotspur FC facing Auckland FC on 26 July. The event concludes with Chelsea Women’s against Auckland FC Women on 8 August.
The festival will also include a match in Indonesia, where Chelsea FC will play Juventus FC at GBK Stadium in Jakarta on 8 August.
Adam Cush, Sports Production Director at Paramount Australia and New Zealand, said the event would deliver elite international football to local audiences.
“The Winter Festival of Football represents the pinnacle of international club football in Australia and New Zealand, and this year’s lineup is truly exceptional.
“Bringing clubs of the calibre of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur to our region to face the best of the A-Leagues, exclusively on Paramount+, is a win for football fans across the country.”
The matches are being delivered in partnership with TEG Sport and will stream live on Paramount+.
