The Spanish Football Federation has confirmed the semi-final fixtures for the 2026 Spanish Super Cup, with one game still remaining in the current 2024/25 LaLiga season.
LaLiga champions Barcelona will face Athletic Club, while Real Madrid will take on city rivals Atlético Madrid in what promises to be an exciting Madrid derby.
The tournament, scheduled for January 2026, will feature the top four teams from the 2024/25 LaLiga season. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and Athletic Club have already secured their positions in the top four of the league table.
Typically, the Spanish Super Cup participants include the top two LaLiga finishers and the two Copa del Rey finalists. However, this season presented a unique situation as Barcelona and Real Madrid, who finished first and second in LaLiga respectively, also contested the Copa del Rey final.
This circumstance allowed Atlético Madrid and Athletic Club, who finished third and fourth in the league, to qualify for the prestigious competition.
All four clubs boast impressive records in the competition's history. Barcelona leads with 15 Spanish Super Cup titles, followed by Real Madrid with 13. Athletic Club has claimed the trophy three times, while Atlético Madrid has won it twice.
Barcelona enters the tournament as the defending champions, having won the most recent edition of the Spanish Super Cup in 2025, where they also faced Athletic Club in the semi-finals.
The exact dates and venue for the 2026 Spanish Super Cup matches are yet to be announced by the Spanish Football Federation.
