The UEFA Super Cup is a single match contested each August between the reigning Champions League and Europa League winners, opening the European season before domestic leagues reach full stride. First played in 1973, it has been staged as a one-off fixture at a rotating neutral venue since 1998, giving smaller European cities a marquee occasion. Real Madrid and AC Milan lead the historical count. The format admits no second leg and no aggregate, so the match is settled on the night by extra time and penalties if required, which lends it a cup-final intensity despite arriving in pre-season. Squads are often still short of match sharpness and newly signed players sometimes make their competitive debuts here, making it an unreliable guide to the campaign that follows but a genuine trophy nonetheless.
No Super Cup fixtures are scheduled in the next seven days. The 2026 edition was played on 12 August 2026.
