Paris Saint-Germain is set to defend its Intercontinental Cup 2026 title on December 16 at the Ahmad-bin-Ali stadium in Al-Rayyan, Qatar. The reigning European champion, having previously secured the trophy against Flamengo in 2025, stands to gain significant financial rewards. FIFA has allocated a minimum of $4 million for the finalist, with the prize increasing to $5 million for the winning team. This single match offers a substantial financial incentive for PSG.

Three participants are already confirmed: Paris Saint-Germain, Deportivo Toluca from Mexico, who won the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and Mamelodi Sundowns, the African champions. The final spot will be filled by the winner of the Copa Libertadores 2026. Other teams will also receive prize money, including $2 million for the Challenger Cup eliminated club and $1 million for the Derby des Amériques loser.
