The 2026 Spanish Super Cup will be played, for the second consecutive year, at the King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Jeddah. Bar\u00e7a is going for its second title in a row and the 16th in its history<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

The Spanish Super Cup<\/strong> already has confirmed dates, times and venue for its 42nd edition. FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid and Athletic Club<\/strong> will compete for the first trophy of the season from Wednesday, January 7 to Sunday, January 11, 2026.<\/p>

Again, for the third time (second consecutive), the King Abdullah Sports City stadium in Jeddah<\/strong> will host the tournament which, since 2020, has been played through a final four (semi-finals and final in a single match) in Arabia, with the exception of 2021 (due to the covid-19 pandemic).<\/p>

Hansi Flick’s Bar\u00e7a will defend its crown<\/a> against Athletic on Wednesday 7th<\/strong> in the first ‘semi’. The match will be played from 20:00 (peninsular time) and re-edits the key of the 2025 edition, where the cul\u00e9s won with goals from Gavi and Lamine Yamal (0-2<\/a>). In the other key, there will be a Madrid derby between Real and Atl\u00e9tico.<\/p>

This is how the ‘semis’ of the 2026 Spanish Super Cup will be played<\/h2>
  1. FC Barcelona<\/strong> (League and Cup champion 24\/25) vs Athletic Club<\/strong> (4th classified in LaLiga 24\/25). Wednesday, January 7, 2026, 20:00 CEST (‘Movistar+’).<\/li> \t
  2. Real Madrid<\/strong> (runner-up of League and Cup 24\/25) vs Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong> (3rd classified in LaLiga 24\/25). Thursday, January 8, 2026, 20:00 CEST (‘Movistar+’).<\/li> \t
  3. Final<\/strong>: Sunday, January 11, 2026 at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah<\/strong> (20:00 CEST, ‘Movistar+’).<\/li> <\/ol>

    Bar\u00e7a, for the first time since the change of format approved in 2019, arrives as defending champion of all local titles in Spain (League, Cup and Super Cup). The blaugrana team, in addition, is the top winner of the trophy with 15 titles<\/strong>, followed by Real Madrid (13).<\/p>

    The cul\u00e9s kept two of the last three editions (2023, 2025)<\/strong> and are going for their fifth crown in the last decade, as they also obtained the trophy in 2016 and 2018. Before the 2019 edition, the Super Cup was played back and forth between the LaLiga champion and the champion or runner-up of the Copa del Rey.<\/p>

    Since the 2020 edition, in addition to the Cup finalists, the top two classified in the League attend. If the Cup finalists coincide with their position in the League, the third and fourth of the general classification in the Spanish First Division<\/strong> attend, as will happen in the 2026 edition. This is established by the General Regulations of the RFEF:<\/p>
