The Supercopa de España ("Super Cup of Spain"), also referred as Spanish Super Cup, is a super cup tournament in Spanish football. Founded in 1982 as a two-team competition, the current version has been contested since 2020 by four teams: the winners and runners-up of the Copa del Rey and La Liga.
Until 1995, a team that won both the league and cup automatically got the trophy. From 1996 to 2019, if a team won both, they had to play the cup runners-up for the Supercopa. Since its inception, thirteen teams have participated in the tournament, and ten have been crowned champions.
Barcelona is the reigning champion after defeating Real Madrid in the final of the 2026 edition held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Barcelona is also the most successful team with sixteen titles, followed by Real Madrid with thirteen. Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo La Coruña each have three titles, with Deportivo notably winning every edition they have participated in. Lionel Messi is the competition's all-time top scorer and the most successful player, with eight titles.
History The current competition has existed since 1982. Between 1940 and 1953, several other tournaments between the Spanish league champions and the cup winners (then Copa del Generalísimo) were played.
In September 1940, a match with this format had the name of Copa de Campeones. It was not repeated until December 1945 when, due to the good relations with the Spanish military government the ambassador of Argentina, offered a trophy called Copa de Oro Argentina.Spanish Supercup history , RSSSF Both these trophies were unofficial and were only played once.
In 1941, the Copa Presidente FEF was established as an official tournament founded and organized by the RFEF; however, it was also only contested once, and though 11 of the 12 matches in its mini-league format were played between April and May 1941, its last, decisive fixture was delayed until eventually taking place in September 1947.El Torneo más largo de la historia del fútbol español. La Copa del presidente de la RFEF (1941-47) [The longest tournament in Spanish football history: The RFEF President's Cup (1941-47)], in Spanish, CIHEFE, 1 April 2018
Also in 1947, the Copa Eva Duarte was established as an annual and official tournament founded and organized by the RFEF, as a tribute to Argentine president Juan Domingo Perón and his wife María Eva Duarte de Perón. It was played between September and December, usually as one-match finals. The trophy was the predecessor of the current Supercopa de España, first held in 1982.
In 2018, the Supercopa was played for the first time as a single match hosted at a neutral venue in Tangier, Morocco.
On 12 November 2019, it was announced that the Supercopa would expand to four teams, the winners and runners-up of the Copa del Rey and La Liga, and would be held at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the next three years, in a deal valued at €120 million. The event was also moved to January in order to reduce the "congestion" on teams' schedules. The agreement has faced criticism: Jesus Álvarez, head of sport programming for state broadcaster RTVE, stated that it would not bid for the media rights to the Supercopa, in protest of Saudi Arabia's human and women's rights records—especially in women's sports. Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional president Javier Tebas also criticized the decision, citing the human rights violations and the country's "pirating" of European football (in reference to pirate broadcaster beoutQ). In the past, Tebas had been a major advocate to hold the competition outside of Spain, and especially in the United States, as part of his efforts to expand La Liga globally. RFEF president Luis Rubiales stated that women would be able to attend the matches without restriction, and defended the agreement as the use of football to "transform society".
In one semi-final, the La Liga champion plays the Copa del Rey runner-up, while in the other the Copa del Rey winner plays the La Liga runner-up. Neither the Copa del Rey nor La Liga winners reached the Supercopa de España final in the first three editions of the four-team format, while Barcelona played Real Madrid in each final of the next four editions. In June 2021, the extension of the agreement with Saudi Arabia for ten years was announced, to continue playing the tournament in the country until at least 2029. Due to a conflict with the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, which Saudi Arabia will host, the 2027 Supercopa would be moved to Istanbul, Turkey.
