Kuwait to host 2026 Saudi Super Cup

Kuwait has been chosen to stage the next edition of the Saudi Super Cup, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has announced.

The four-team tournament will take place in December 2026, with matches scheduled at Jaber International Stadium from 19 to 23 December.

The semi-finals will be played on 19 and 20 December, before the final takes place on 23 December.

Al Nassr will enter the competition as Saudi Pro League champions. They will be joined by Al Ahli, who finished third last season, and Al Qadsiah, who ended the campaign in fourth place.

Al Kholood complete the line-up as runners-up in the King’s Cup.

Al Hilal, who finished second in the league last season, will not take part. Their absence is the result of a punishment imposed after they withdrew from the previous edition of the tournament.
