Super Cup (Turkey) 2025/26

The Turkish Super Cup serves as the seasonal curtain-raiser for domestic football, bringing together the top contenders before the league campaign begins. Originally established as the Presidential Cup in 1966, the tournament underwent a hiatus between 1999 and 2005 before being revived as the TFF Süper Kupa. While it historically featured a straightforward one-off match between the Süper Lig champion and the Turkish Cup winner, the 2025 edition introduced a more complex structure. This new format expanded the field to a four-team knockout tournament. The participants include the league champion, the runner-up, the Turkish Cup victor, and the third-placed side if the double is secured by a single club. The current holder, Fenerbahçe, claimed the 2025 title by defeating Galatasaray 2–0 in January 2026. Galatasaray remains the most successful club in the competition’s history with 17 titles, followed by Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe with 10 each. The event is organized by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and carries a distinct identity separate from the Süper Lig or the Turkish Cup, though it holds lower prestige as a seasonal opener. Notable incidents have marked recent years, including the 2023 final being abandoned in Riyadh due to controversies over Atatürk imagery and the 2024 final being awarded to Galatasaray by forfeit after Fenerbahçe protested with their U19 team.
