Real Madrid are the most successful team in UEFA Super Cup history. Los Blancos last won the trophy in 2024 defeating Atalanta in the showcase game. They have won the Super Cup every time they have featured in the game as the Champions League representative. Their La Liga rivals, Barcelona, come in just behind them with five Super Cup victories.

The Uefa Super Cup could be turned into a four-team tournament before the start of the season. It raises the prospect of the curtain-raiser being taken outside of Europe with the United States or the Middle East being a likely destination.
