El Clásico Showdown: Your Complete Guide to Catching Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Live
For the fourth straight season, Barcelona and Real Madrid will clash in the Spanish Super Cup final, with the victor claiming the opening major silverware of the 2025–26 season.
Exactly twelve months prior, these fierce adversaries battled in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup title, a contest completely controlled by the Catalan giants.
