Spanish Super Cup: What You Need to Know for 2025
If you love Spanish football, the Super Cup is a must‑watch event. It brings together the biggest clubs in a short, exciting tournament before the league kicks off. In 2025 the matches will be played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, so you’ll need to know the dates, venues and how to catch the action live.
How the Spanish Super Cup Works
The format is simple: four teams – the La Liga champion, the Copa del Rey winner and the two best‑placed league finishers – play semi‑finals and a final. If a team wins both the league and the cup, the next two highest‑placed league sides fill the spots. Each match is a single‑leg knockout, so there’s no room for mistakes.
Who’s Favoured in 2025?
Real Madrid and Barcelona are the usual suspects, but Atletico Madrid and Sevilla often sneak in and cause upsets. Last season Real Madrid clinched the league and Barcelona lifted the cup, so the semi‑final line‑up looks like Real, Barcelona, Atletico and Sevilla. Expect tight games, a few surprises and plenty of goals.To follow the tournament, tune into the main broadcasters in your region – for most African viewers it’s usually SuperSport or beIN Sports. You can also stream the matches on the official LaLiga website if you have a subscription.
Tickets sell out fast, especially for the final in Riyadh. If you want to be there, check the LaLiga ticket portal early, pick a seat in the lower tier for a better view, and remember the venue’s strict security rules.
Fans love the Super Cup because it’s a chance to see new signings in action before the season starts. Keep an eye on player introductions; a debut goal can set the tone for the whole campaign.
After the matches, the best way to stay updated is to follow the official Spanish Super Cup Twitter account and the @RussAfricaDaily page for quick highlights and analysis. They post live scores, key moments and quick post‑match reactions.
In short, the Spanish Super Cup is a short burst of high‑quality football that gives you a taste of what’s to come. Mark the dates, grab your ticket or streaming access, and enjoy the drama of Spain’s top clubs battling for early glory.
