Albion take on the giant French club at the Schladming Athletic Area in Austria on Wednesday, July 13.

It's the same stadium they used last summer to play Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg.

Big-spending PSG have won the last four Ligue 1 titles and completed a domestic treble in France last season.

This week they announced former Sevilla boss Unai Emery as their new manager after Laurent Blanc left the club.

The eye-catching fixture has been arranged for the end of Albion's week-long fitness camp in the Austrian Alps, although both teams may be missing players who featured in Euro 2016.

Albion have already arranged pre-season games with Vitesse Arnhem and PSV Eindhoven in Holland as well as Plymouth Argyle and Torquay United in Devon.

Tickets for the PSG encounter will be available at the stadium on match day.
