Supercopa Femenina Live Scores, Fixtures and Results

Supercopa Femenina is Spain’s women’s domestic super cup, a knockout competition now officially known as the Supercopa de España Femenina. Organised by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), it brings together leading clubs from Liga F and the Copa de la Reina to decide an early-season national champion.

Competition identity and purpose

The Supercopa occupies a distinctive place in the Spanish women’s football calendar. It is not a league competition and does not provide a long championship campaign; instead, it is a short, high-stakes cup tournament built around the strongest performances of the preceding season. Its four-team field combines the leading league and cup sides, creating a “champion of champions” contest and an opportunity to establish early momentum in the domestic campaign.

Although rooted in Spain’s national football structure, the competition has developed a wider international profile. Matches are often staged at neutral venues, helping the RFEF showcase the quality of Spanish women’s football to supporters beyond the country. The tournament also provides a concentrated platform for elite players and clubs at a point when the competitive season is entering its second phase.

Origins and modern development

The competition was established in 1997 as a two-team tie and was played on four occasions before a lengthy interruption. It was subsequently revived and expanded into its present Final Four format in 2019, giving the modern Supercopa a different structure from its original version. The RFEF oversees the competition’s regulations, match administration, officiating framework and venue arrangements.

The historical origin and the currently recorded statistical coverage are therefore not identical. Xtra-Stats records the first event in its available competition data on 16 January 2024, with recorded seasons from 2023 through 2024 and two seasons currently covered. This reflects the scope of the available records rather than the full history of the tournament, which reaches back to its 1997 foundation.

Qualification and access

Qualification is performance-based and draws on the previous season’s results in Spain’s two principal women’s competitions. The intended four places go to:

– the Liga F champion;
– the Liga F runner-up;
– the Copa de la Reina winner; and
– the Copa de la Reina runner-up.

If a club qualifies through both competitions, the duplicated place is not simply removed. It is normally reassigned to the next highest-ranked eligible club in the Liga F standings. This overlap rule ensures that the tournament retains a four-team field while preserving a clear sporting link with the previous domestic campaign.

Final Four format

Supercopa Femenina is played as a single-elimination Final Four. The tournament begins with two semi-finals, each contested over one match rather than a two-leg tie. The winners progress directly to the final, where the trophy is decided. There is typically no third-place play-off, so the competition consists of three matches in total.

A formal draw determines the semi-final pairings. The traditional pairing logic places the league champion against the Copa de la Reina runner-up and the cup champion against the Liga F runner-up, although the precise arrangements are subject to the regulations and draw procedures for the relevant edition. This structure creates the possibility of immediate clashes between title-holders and ensures that every participating club faces a direct route to the final.

Match rules and tie-breaks

Matches are played under the Laws of the Game, with two 45-minute halves and a standard 90-minute regulation period. Recent competition information describes a substitution allowance of five players during regulation time, generally across three windows, with an additional substitution available when a match reaches extra time.

Traditionally, a knockout match level after 90 minutes proceeds to two 15-minute periods of extra time. If the scores remain level, the winner is determined by a penalty shoot-out. Recent editions have also been associated with adjustments or proposals concerning the treatment of drawn semi-finals, including the possibility of going directly to penalties in some circumstances. The applicable edition regulations should therefore be treated as decisive where a specific tie-break procedure is required.

Calendar and sporting significance

The tournament is usually held in January as a mid-season winter event. Its position after the winter break gives the competition a natural role in opening the second phase of the season, while the compact schedule creates an immediate test of squad depth, preparation and resilience.

Winning the Supercopa is a domestic honour in its own right and can provide significant psychological momentum for the remainder of the Liga F and Copa de la Reina campaigns. For clubs competing regularly for major honours, it can also form part of a broader pursuit of multiple trophies. Beyond the silverware, the event strengthens the visibility of the participating teams and contributes to the continued professional growth and global reach of women’s football in Spain.

FC Barcelona is recorded as the competition’s most successful club. Its record reflects the club’s sustained dominance in Spanish women’s football, while the Final Four format continues to give each qualified team a direct opportunity to challenge for the title.
