PSV Eindhoven Plans Pre‑Season Friendlies with Villarreal and AZ

PSV Eindhoven has outlined its pre‑season programme for the 2026/27 campaign. The Dutch champions will hold a training camp after the World Cup and schedule friendlies against Villarreal and FC Eindhoven. They will then meet cup winners AZ Alkmaar in the Johan Cruijff Schaal.

Villarreal, a Spanish top‑flight club, will be PSV's first high‑profile opponent. FC Eindhoven will provide a domestic challenge before the Super Cup.

As the reigning Eredivisie champion, PSV aims to fine‑tune tactics ahead of the league start. The Johan Cruijff Schaal pits the league champions against the KNVB Cup winners, AZ Alkmaar.

The camp follows the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, giving returning internationals time to train. All scheduled matches are set for the summer period preceding the domestic season.

Results against Villarreal and FC Eindhoven will shape the squad selection for the Johan Cruijff Schaal. Success in the Super Cup will set the tone for the 2026/27 season.
