The Supercopa de España, or Spanish Super Cup, is an annual football competition in Spain, typically featuring four teams: the winners and runners-up of both La Liga and the Copa del Rey from the previous season. Traditionally, the competition started as a two-team affair between the La Liga champions and the Copa del Rey winners. However, since 2019, it has adopted a four-team format involving semifinals and a final, usually held in a neutral venue outside of Spain to promote the league globally. The tournament, organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), serves as a prestigious curtain-raiser for the Spanish football season, showcasing some of the country's top talent and clubs.

The competition has seen significant changes over the years, both in format and location. Initially held in Spain, the Supercopa de España has recently been played in international venues like Saudi Arabia, enhancing its global appeal and financial revenues. The shift to a four-team format has increased the excitement and competitiveness of the event, allowing more teams to contest for the trophy. Notable clubs like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid have frequently participated and dominated the tournament, adding to its high profile and drawing widespread attention from fans worldwide.
