With just one match left in the 24/25 La Liga season, the top four teams have already been determined: FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, and Athletic Club. This classification not only decides the league champion but also sets the stage for the semifinals of the Supercopa de España, scheduled for January 2026.
The Supercopa de España features the top two teams from La Liga and the finalists from the Copa del Rey. This year, the coincidence is striking, as both Barça and Madrid were the Copa finalists. Thus, the spots for the Supercopa will be filled by Atlético de Madrid and Athletic Club, who occupy the third and fourth positions in the standings, respectively.
Barça faces Athletic Club again
The semifinal draw has matched the first-placed FC Barcelona against the fourth-placed Athletic Club, while the second-placed Real Madrid will take on the third-placed Atlético de Madrid. This means there is a possibility of a new Clásico in a hypothetical final, undoubtedly raising the stakes for fans.
The giants of the Supercopa
The 2026 Supercopa de España will feature the most decorated teams in the history of the competition. FC Barcelona leads the trophy count with an impressive 15 titles, followed by Real Madrid with 13. Athletic Club, with 3 trophies, and Atlético de Madrid, with 2, round out the list of the most successful teams in this competition.
All in for Champions 25/26
This edition of the Supercopa will be special, as all four participating teams will also be present in the group stage of the Champions League 25/26. Unlike the last edition, where only two of the four teams reached the top European competition, this year sees the addition of Villarreal, the fifth-placed team, bringing the total number of La Liga teams in the Champions to five.
With these developments, the Supercopa de España promises to be an exciting tournament, where FC Barcelona will seek to reaffirm its dominance in Spanish football.
