Al Nassr qualify as 2025/26 Pro League champions after an eleventh title, and Al Hilal as King's Cup winners following their 2-1 win over Al-Kholood in Jeddah. Al-Kholood reached that cup final, and the fourth place is filled from the Pro League standings where a club occupies more than one qualification route.
This guide covers the four-team format, why the tournament's host city changes every year, what that does to attendance and pricing, what tickets cost at each stage and how to complete a purchase. 1BoxOffice is a verified secondary marketplace that has operated since 2006, and every order is covered by a 150% money-back guarantee.
The Saudi Super Cup was a single match between the Pro League champions and the King's Cup winners for its first eight editions. The SAFF approved a four-club format with a semi-final round in February 2022, and every edition since has used it.
| Place | Qualification Route | Stage Entered |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pro League champions | Semi-final |
| 2 | Pro League runners-up | Semi-final |
| 3 | King's Cup winners | Semi-final |
| 4 | King's Cup runners-up | Semi-final |
Three matches decide it. The semi-finals fall on consecutive days and the final follows a few days later at the same ground, with extra time and penalties where required and no second legs at any stage.
Where one club occupies two of those routes, the vacant place passes down the Pro League table. That happened in 2025, when Al-Ittihad arrived as both league and cup winners and the field was completed by clubs finishing third and fifth. It is worth understanding because it means the four participants are not always the four you would predict.
That mechanism has been used more often than not. Al-Hilal arrived in 2024 as both Pro League and King's Cup winners, which pushed places down the table, and the same happened in 2025 with Al-Ittihad. In practice, checking the confirmed line-up rather than assuming it from the final league table is the sensible approach every year.
This is the single most important thing to know before buying. The Saudi Super Cup does not have a permanent home. It has been staged in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Abha, Hong Kong and three times in London, and the host determines the crowd far more than the clubs do.
| Edition | Host City | Champions | Attendance per Match |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Hong Kong | Al-Ahli | 25,715, total 77,146 |
| 2024 | Abha | Al-Hilal | 11,257, total 33,770 |
| 2023 | Abu Dhabi | Al-Hilal | 23,417, total 70,250 |
| 2022 | Riyadh | Al-Ittihad | 35,338, total 106,015 |
The spread is remarkable for a four-edition sample. Riyadh in 2022 averaged 35,338 a match across a total of 106,015. Abha in 2024 averaged 11,257, roughly a third of that, with a final drawing 14,357. Same competition, same clubs at the top of the field, three times the crowd in one city against another.
For a buyer that translates directly into availability. A Riyadh or Jeddah edition is a genuinely competitive ticket. A smaller Saudi city or an overseas edition at a mid-sized ground is far easier to obtain, and pricing follows. Wait for the venue announcement before assuming anything about how hard the final will be to get.
The lead time is short. The 2025 host was confirmed on 13 June for a tournament beginning on 19 August, roughly nine weeks. The 2024 venue was announced on 4 July for a tournament starting on 13 August, closer to six. That compresses the planning window considerably compared with a European super cup, where the venue is usually known a year or more ahead.
Pricing is set by the host organisers rather than by the clubs, and it varies with the venue as sharply as the attendance does. The ranges below reflect typical resale behaviour rather than published face values.
| Match | Resale Price Range | What Drives the Range |
|---|---|---|
| Semi-final, overseas or smaller-city edition | £25 – £70 | Mid-sized grounds with a substantial neutral audience |
| Semi-final, Riyadh or Jeddah edition | £40 – £110 | Home-market demand from the largest Saudi supports |
| Final, overseas edition | £50 – £150 | Trophy match at a venue where local demand is limited |
| Final, Saudi edition | £70 – £220 | Domestic audience with the largest clubs involved |
| Al Hilal against Al Nassr, either stage | £90 – £300+ | The Riyadh derby is the highest-demand pairing the draw can produce |
| Premium and hospitality | £180 – £600+ | Set by the venue operator and the tournament's commercial partners |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match. The pattern to work with is that an overseas edition is consistently the more obtainable, because it removes most of the domestic audience from the market while the clubs remain the same.
Four editions of the four-team format have produced three different champions, and Al-Hilal hold the record with five titles.
| Edition | Winners | Runners-Up | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Al-Ahli | Al-Nassr | 2-2, Al-Ahli won 5-3 on penalties, Hong Kong |
| 2024 | Al-Hilal | Al-Nassr | Al-Hilal won 4-1, Abha |
| 2023 | Al-Hilal | Al-Ittihad | Al-Hilal won 4-1, Abu Dhabi |
| 2022 | Al-Ittihad | Al-Fayha | Al-Ittihad's first title, Riyadh |
Al-Ahli's win in Hong Kong was their second Super Cup and their first since 2016. That 2025 tournament produced thirteen goals across three matches at 4.33 per game, with Franck Kessié finishing as top scorer on three, and it was played without Al-Hilal, who had been excluded from that edition by the SAFF.
Al-Nassr have now lost the final in each of the last two editions, in Abha and in Hong Kong. Arriving this time as Pro League champions, they are the club with the most obvious motive in the field.
The two domestic competitions that feed this tournament both produced clear outcomes, and both are worth knowing before the draw.
Al Nassr took the Pro League title, their eleventh, in a season that ran from 28 August 2025 to 21 May 2026 across 306 matches and 921 goals at 3.01 per game. Julián Quiñones finished as the division's top scorer on 33.
Al Hilal won the King's Cup, coming from behind to beat Al-Kholood 2-1 in Jeddah on 8 May 2026. They also went 34 matches unbeaten in the league that season, the longest run in the division, which makes the Super Cup meeting between the two Riyadh clubs the fixture the draw will be watched for.
Al-Kholood reached the King's Cup final having eliminated the holders Al-Ittihad on penalties in the semi-finals, their first appearance at that stage. Where a club fills more than one route, the remaining place is taken from the Pro League standings, so the fourth participant is confirmed only once the SAFF applies the rule.
Qualification runs through the Pro League and the King's Cup, so the field changes every year. These are the clubs whose Super Cup involvement generates the strongest demand.
Three matches across five days at one venue creates a clean choice, and the trade-offs are the same wherever the tournament is staged.
| Option | What You Get | Trade-Off |
|---|---|---|
| Both semi-finals | All four clubs across two consecutive nights | You miss the trophy being lifted |
| One semi-final plus the final | Two matches including the closing fixture | You buy the final without knowing the pairing |
| The final only | The trophy match and the presentation | Highest price and thinnest supply of the three |
| All three | The complete tournament on one trip | Five days in the host city and three separate purchases |
Both semi-finals is usually the better buy, and more so here than at most super cups because the semi-finals fall on consecutive days rather than being split across a week. Two matches, one hotel night between them, and you see every club in the tournament.
The counter-argument is that the final has produced the better football in recent editions. The 2025 final finished 2-2 before penalties and the 2023 and 2024 finals both ended 4-1, so the closing match has not been the cagey affair a trophy game often becomes. If you are only buying one ticket, that record supports paying for the final.
Because the venue changes annually there is no single seating template, but the grounds used have shared characteristics: modern or recently renovated, football-specific rather than athletics-configured, and holding between 20,000 and 60,000.
| Area | What It Suits | General Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Lower tier, halfway | Buyers who want the closest view | Highest band; at a compact venue even mid-tier seats sit close to the pitch |
| Lower tier behind the goal | Supporters sitting with club allocations | Where travelling Saudi support is concentrated at an overseas edition |
| Upper tier, halfway | Buyers balancing price and view | Consistently the strongest value at grounds of this size |
| Upper corners | Buyers prioritising price | Lowest band and the last area to sell outside a Riyadh derby |
| Premium and hospitality | Corporate guests | Central covered positions with catering, priced well above general admission |
Climate depends entirely on where the tournament lands. An August edition inside Saudi Arabia is hot even at an evening kick-off, though Abha's elevation made the 2024 tournament noticeably milder than a coastal Saudi city would have been. An overseas edition can bring humidity or rain instead: the 2025 final in Hong Kong was played in heavy conditions.
Six of the thirteen editions have been staged outside Saudi Arabia. That is unusual for a domestic super cup and it is a deliberate strategy rather than a scheduling accident.
The commercial logic is straightforward. Taking three matches involving the country's largest clubs to London, Abu Dhabi or Hong Kong builds an audience in markets where Saudi football has broadcast ambitions, and it does so at a time of year when the domestic calendar is empty. The 2025 tournament in Hong Kong drew 77,146 across three matches, more than double what Abha managed the year before inside Saudi Arabia.
There is a football argument against it. Playing the season opener in a different climate zone days before the league starts is not ideal preparation, and the 2025 final was contested in heavy rain and 84 per cent humidity. Squads arriving from a Saudi summer into a Hong Kong August faced conditions unlike anything in their league campaign.
For a buyer, the strategy is simply an opportunity. An overseas edition means a tournament featuring four of Asia's highest-spending squads, played at a mid-sized ground, in a city with international flight connections, at prices a Saudi edition would not offer.
A Saudi competition that may be played in a third country adds a layer that a domestic fixture does not, and entry procedures follow the host rather than the clubs.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | Which app or wallet the transfer arrives in and whether a local account is needed in advance |
| Instant download | That the file is available immediately, which matters if you buy after the semi-finals |
| Courier delivery | The dispatch date against your travel date, and whether international delivery is realistic |
| Collection in the host city | The collection point and opening hours against your arrival time |
Carry photo identification and check the entry requirements for the host country once it is announced, since those differ substantially between Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Charge your phone before travelling, as digital entry is standard.
Step1
Find the fixture
Search for the semi-final or the final. All three matches are at one venue, so filter by date rather than by ground, and each listing shows the stand and current pricing before you commit.
Step2
Create or log in to your account
Register at 1BoxOffice register if you are buying for the first time. Existing customers log in directly. An account is required to complete checkout and receive your ticket.
Step3
Select your seat
Choose the tier before the stand. At a mid-sized ground the drop from lower to upper tier costs little in proximity and saves a substantial amount, so the upper halfway sections usually give the strongest value.
Step4
Review before checkout
Read the seller notes in full. Confirm the section is not a designated club allocation, check the delivery method and verify the kick-off time against your travel and any time zone difference.
Step5
Complete payment
All major credit and debit cards are accepted, with multi-currency checkout available. Every order placed with 1BoxOffice, a verified marketplace operating since 2006, carries the 150% money-back guarantee if the ticket fails to grant entry on matchday.
Step6
Track your order
Follow delivery status and manage your booking through track order. Digital tickets arrive ahead of the match.
This is one of the more unusual trips in football to plan, because the destination is unknown until a few weeks before. The tournament has been staged on three continents in the last decade, and the SAFF confirms the host in the summer rather than a year ahead.
What is consistent is the shape. Five days, one venue, three matches, and a single hotel booking covers the whole thing. If you can move quickly once the announcement lands, it is an efficient way to see four of Asia's highest-spending clubs in one trip.
The London editions are worth noting for European supporters. The tournament was played at Loftus Road in 2015, Craven Cottage in 2016 and again in west London in 2018, so a European staging is not without precedent. On delivery, instant download and mobile transfer remain the most reliable routes wherever the tournament lands.
The Super Cup traditionally opens the Saudi campaign, played in the days around the start of the Pro League. The 2024 and 2025 editions both fell in mid to late August, immediately before the league got under way.
The 2026/27 Saudi season is unusually congested. The Pro League began on 13 August 2026 and runs to 29 May 2027 across 306 matches, with a break from 24 December to 7 February while the country hosts the AFC Asian Cup. Eight Pro League clubs are involved in four international competitions across the same season.
That congestion has a bearing on the Super Cup. With clubs facing a heavier calendar than usual, and with the tournament sitting right at the start of it, squad selection and scheduling are under more pressure than in a normal year. It is one more reason to check the confirmed dates rather than assuming the usual August slot.
The Asian Cup is the wider point. With Saudi Arabia hosting that tournament in January 2027, the country's football calendar for this cycle is built around it, and every domestic competition is being scheduled to accommodate a six-week league shutdown. Anyone planning a Saudi football trip should look at the whole season rather than one competition in isolation.
Al Nassr as league champions and Al Hilal as cup winners raises the prospect the tournament has not delivered since 2024: the two Riyadh clubs meeting for a trophy at a neutral venue.
They have met four times in this competition. Al-Hilal won the 2015 final 1-0, the 2023 semi-final 2-1 and the 2024 final 4-1, a record that gives the fixture an edge going into any fresh meeting. It is also the sixteenth-most-contested cup final pairing in Saudi football, so the history runs well beyond the Super Cup itself.
The commercial consequence is immediate. Whichever stage the draw places it at, that fixture will carry the highest prices and the thinnest availability of the tournament by a wide margin, and it will do so whether the tournament is in Riyadh or six thousand miles away. If the draw separates them into different semi-finals, the final becomes the match everything points towards and the semi-finals become the value purchase.
Worth noting that Al-Nassr have lost the last two finals they contested, in 2024 and 2025, and have not won the competition since 2020. Arriving as league champions for the first time in eleven seasons gives that record a particular weight.
Usually in August around the start of the Pro League season. The 2024 edition ran 13 to 17 August and the 2025 edition 19 to 23 August.
It changes every year. Recent editions have been in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Abha and Hong Kong, and three earlier editions were staged in London.
Resale typically starts around £25 for a semi-final at an overseas edition and rises past £300 if the draw produces Al Hilal against Al Nassr.
Four, since the SAFF approved the change in February 2022. Before that it was a single match between the Pro League and King's Cup winners.
Al-Ahli, beating Al-Nassr 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Hong Kong Stadium on 23 August 2025 for a second title and a first since 2016.
Al-Hilal, with five titles, most recently in Abha in 2024 when they beat Al-Nassr 4-1.
The Pro League champions and runners-up join the King's Cup winners and runners-up. Where one club fills two routes, the place passes down the league table.
Because the host city changes. Riyadh in 2022 averaged 35,338 a match while Abha in 2024 averaged 11,257, with the same competition and comparable clubs.
No. All three matches are single ties decided on the night, with extra time and penalties where needed.
Al Nassr as Pro League champions and Al Hilal as King's Cup winners, with Al-Kholood having reached the cup final. The remaining place comes from the league standings.
Yes. It was staged at Loftus Road in 2015, Craven Cottage in 2016 and again in west London in 2018, all under the earlier single-match format.
The 2022 tournament in Riyadh, which drew 106,015 across three matches at 35,338 per game, comfortably ahead of any edition since.
Yes. All three are at the same venue within five days, so one trip and a single hotel booking cover the whole tournament.
An overseas edition. It removes most of the domestic audience from the market while the same four clubs still take part.
By mobile transfer, instant download, courier or collection in the host city, with the method stated in each listing. Digital routes suit an unfamiliar destination best.
Usually a few weeks to a couple of months. The 2025 venue was confirmed on 13 June for a tournament played in August.
Frequently enough to plan around. The 2025 final was settled from the spot, as were the 2021 and 2016 editions under the older format.
Al-Ittihad arrived as both league and cup winners, and Al-Hilal were excluded from that edition by the SAFF, so places passed down to clubs finishing third and fifth.
All three use a four-club format with semi-finals and a final at one venue. The Saudi tournament is the one that moves host city most often.
Considerably. The Pro League runs 13 August to 29 May with a break from 24 December to 7 February for the AFC Asian Cup, and eight clubs are in four international competitions.
