Red Bull Salzburg vs Pafos FC Europa League qualifier on Aug 6, 2026

Red Bull Salzburg will host Pafos FC in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League third‑qualifying round on 6 August 2026 at the Red Bull Arena. Salzburg, the Austrian champions, are clear favourites, while Cyprus’ Pafos FC entered the match after a strong domestic season and a recent Champions League group‑stage appearance.

Broadcast rights for the game remain unsettled. No free‑to‑air or streaming partner has confirmed coverage in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, meaning fans in those markets may need to wait for a short‑notice announcement or seek alternative services. Betting markets favour Salzburg, with odds around 1.60 for a home win.

Both clubs are entering the tie in good form: Salzburg have won their last two league matches and boast a prolific attack, while Pafos have shown resilience in recent European fixtures despite a fourth‑place domestic finish.
