While those attending the game will not get the chance to see the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in action, PSG will have plenty of familiar faces on show.
Gianluigi Buffon has linked up with the club this summer, while the likes of Lassana Diarra and Adrien Rabiot should also figure in ICC fixtures alongside exciting youngsters such as Timothy Weah.
Marco Verratti will not be involved, however, as he continues building up his fitness with more pre-season work away from a match situation.
Potential PSG XI: Buffon; Georgen, Mbe Soh, Rimane, Zagre; Bernede, Diarra, Rabiot; Jese, Weah, Nkunku.
The absence of several senior Bayern stars from Russia 2018 means that Kovac will be in a position to name a strong side throughout the International Champions Cup.
That should help to establish some early stability within the ranks before their World Cup contingent are welcomed back into the fold.
Their ICC endeavours also present the Munich giants with an opportunity to get their hands on a piece of silverware which has so far eluded them.
Bayern did finish as runners-up to Inter in the Singapore section of the 2017 event, but now have the chance to emerge as the overall winners in a format which has been altered again for 2018.
