The 2026 Supercopa de España will take place in the Saudi city between January 7 and January 11, 2026. The event brings top Spanish clubs together early in the season, and it promises hard battles and big moments.
This will be the third time Jeddah hosts the Super Cup under the current format. The tournament has become a key stop in global football and a chance for Spanish clubs to kick off the year with a trophy.
The Road to the Super Cup Title
The Supercopa de España is a short, elite competition featuring four clubs. Teams qualify through their performance in La Liga and the Copa del Rey from the previous season. Since 2020, it has followed a four-team knockout system with two semifinals and a final.
This format brings intense games over a few days. The Super Cup gives clubs a major title early in the season and is watched by fans across the world.
The Line-Up
In 2026, the competition will feature these four giants:
• FC Barcelona – League and cup winners.
• Real Madrid – Runners-up in both.
• Atlético Madrid – Third in La Liga.
• Athletic Club – Fourth-place finisher.
This line-up reads like a list of European heavyweights. Barcelona and Real Madrid will once again carry huge expectations. Atlético brings solid power, while Athletic Club adds grit and history to the draw.
Key Matches and Venue
All matches will be played at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah. Known locally as Alinma Stadium, the venue holds over 60,000 fans and has quickly become a favourite for big football events.
The semi-finals are set for January 7 and 8, and the winners from those games will meet in the final on January 11. Three matches in five days mean there is no room for slow starts or half-hearted performances.
Early ticket reports show strong interest from international fans, with packages and entry tickets already on sale online. Games are expected to kick off in the evening local time to suit global broadcast audiences.
More than a tournament, it’s a chance to see Spain’s best teams facing off in high-stakes, early-season action. Following a thrilling 2025 edition in Jeddah, which saw intense battles and packed stands, fans have high hopes for 2026.
Last year in Jeddah, one match drew large global audiences and heavy fan engagement online. The success of that event set the stage for another major showdown in January.
For fans travelling to Saudi Arabia, the event is also a chance to explore a different football culture and enjoy a busy week of sport and local experiences.
With elite teams, packed stadiums and global attention, the 2026 Supercopa de España promises to be one of the must-watch events in early-season football.
