Barcelona hope to defend their Supercopa de Espana crown as they contest the 2026 edition of Spain's showcase event in Saudi Arabia, with a semifinal against Athletic Club on Wednesday.
The Blaugrana won their 15th Super Cup trophy last year by topping Mallorca in the semifinals followed by an emphatic 5-2 Clasico win over Real Madrid in the final.
The annual four-team tournament features last year's league winner and runner-up against the Copa del Rey winner and runner-up. For the 2026 Supercopa, last year's league third-place (Atletico Madrid) and fourth-place (Athletic Club) finishers are invited as Barcelona won the double last season while Real Madrid finished second in both.
The winners of both semifinals will meet in Sunday's final, with the possibility for another Clasico to be added to the calendar.
