How to Watch Barcelona V. Real Madrid in Spanish super cup: TV Channel, Streaming Details, and Kick-Off Time
Defending champions Barcelona enter the final in scintillating form, having won their last nine matches across all competitions under manager Hansi Flick. The Blaugrana reached this stage after a dominant 5-0 victory over Athletic Club in the semi-finals.
Barça will be aiming to secure their record-extending 16th Super Cup title. While key players like Gavi and Ter Stegen remain long-term absentees, the team’s attack—led by Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski—has been clinical. With an extra day of rest compared to their rivals, Barcelona will look to repeat their success from last year’s competition.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid secured their place in the final with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. Under Xabi Alonso, the team is searching for its 14th Spanish Super Cup and its first trophy of the 2025–26 season.
There is significant optimism in the Madrid camp as star forward Kylian Mbappé has recovered from a knee injury faster than expected and is included in the squad. However, late fitness checks are required for Antonio Rüdiger and Rodrygo after both picked up knocks in the semi-final. Despite these concerns, Madrid enters the final on a run of five successive victories and will rely on Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior to reclaim the trophy from their rivals.
