2027 tournament details
The line-up will comprise LaLiga winners Barcelona, league runners-up Real Madrid, Copa del Rey champions Real Sociedad and cup finalists Atlético Madrid. The knockout competition will run across six days, from February 2 through February 7.
Barcelona confirmed that the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul will host the matches. The Super Cup has been held in Saudi Arabia in recent years, but the country was unavailable for this edition because the Asian Cup will take place there during the same period. The competition is expected to return to Saudi Arabia in the following season.
Saudi Arabia’s hosting history
Saudi Arabia is due to stage the Asian Cup from January 7 to February 5, overlapping with the Spanish Super Cup schedule.
The expanded four-team format was introduced in 2020, when Jeddah staged the competition. A year later, the tournament moved to Spain and was played without supporters because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It went back to Saudi Arabia in 2022, and Riyadh subsequently hosted three consecutive editions.
Barcelona have been the dominant side in the recent era, winning three of the last four tournaments.
