The 2026 Johan Cruyff Shield was the 30th edition of the Johan Cruyff Shield (Dutch: Johan Cruijff Schaal), an annual Dutch association football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Eredivisie and KNVB Cup. It was played between the 2025–26 Eredivisie champions, and holders, PSV Eindhoven and the 2025–26 KNVB Cup winners AZ Alkmaar at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven on 2 August 2026.

PSV qualified for the Johan Cruyff Shield as champions of the 2025–26 Eredivisie with 84 points, finishing 19 points clear of second-placed Feyenoord. It was their third consecutive league title won. AZ Alkmaar qualified for the Johan Cruyff Shield as winners of the 2025–26 KNVB Cup, beating N.E.C. in the final. They won the competition for a fifth time, and for the first time in 13 years. Since the Johan Cruyff Shield was played in the stadium of the Eredivisie champions, the Philips Stadion hosted the match for a fourth time, previously doing so in 2018, 2024 and 2025.

Head coach Peter Bosz managed PSV in the Johan Cruyff Shield for a fourth consecutive year. On 23 July 2026, Serdar Gözübüyük was appointed as referee for the Johan Cruyff Shield for the third time, having previously led the 2016 and 2018 editions.

Overall, PSV started the match as record winners of the Dutch Super Cup, having won 15 editions, including the previous one, and lost 8 editions.
