 2025 Franz Beckenbauer Supercup | |
TheFranz Beckenbauer Supercup orGerman Super Cup is a one-offfootball match in Germany that features the winners of theBundesliga championship and theDFB-Pokal. The competition is run by theDeutsche Fußball Liga (English: German Football League).
The competition was founded in 1987 as the DFB-Supercup, run by theGerman Football Association (DFB). From 1992 to 1996, it was known as the "Panasonic DFB-Supercup" for sponsorship reasons. It was played up to the 1996 season, before being replaced by theDFB-Ligapokal (later the DFL-Ligapokal), a pre-seasonleague cup competition, from the 1997–98 season. In 2008, although not officially sanctioned by any footballing body, the match returned as the T-Home Supercup, featuring Bundesliga and DFB-Pokaldouble winnersBayern Munich and fellow DFB-Pokal finalistsBorussia Dortmund. The match was a one-year replacement for the DFB-Ligapokal, which was cancelled for one season, due to schedule crowding caused byUEFA Euro 2008. The competition was reinstated as the DFL-Supercup from the2010–11 season at the annual general meeting of theDeutsche Fußball Liga on 10 November 2009.[1]
Since 2010, in contrast to the DFB-Supercup, if one team wins thedouble (league and cup), the winner plays the runner-up of the Bundesliga. No extra time is played in the case of a draw after 90 minutes, the match is then decided by apenalty shoot-out. The match typically is played at the home of the cup holders, or the Bundesliga runners-up in the case a team wins the double, though this is not a rule, as the DFL ultimately decides on the venue.[2]
From the 2025–26 season, the competition was renamed in honour ofFranz Beckenbauer.[3]
Below is a list of the Super Cup winners.[4] Since 2010, if one team wins the domestic double, then league runners-up are invited as the second team.
