Match Preview: What’s at stake?
PSV Eindhoven and Shakhtar Donetsk open their 2026-27 UEFA Champions League campaigns on Thursday, September 10, with both sides looking to start the league phase with a statement result.
The match at the Philips Stadion is one of 18 Matchday 1 fixtures and comes as both clubs return to Europe’s elite competition after winning their respective domestic leagues last season.

For PSV, the opening game is an opportunity to change a difficult recent trend. The Dutch champions have lost their opening Champions League match in each of their last five campaigns, with their most recent Matchday 1 victory coming in 2015-16 against Manchester United. At the same time, they have won their last three Champions League games against Ukrainian opposition.
Shakhtar Donetsk arrive with significant Champions League experience. This is the Ukrainian club’s 20th appearance in the Champions League league phase or group stage, the most of any team from Ukraine. Shakhtar have also lost only two of their last eight league-phase or group-stage matches in UEFA competitions, recording five wins and one draw during that stretch.
