Fans eager to watch the 2024 UEFA Super Cup do not have to wait much longer.

Every year, the winner of the Champions League takes on the winner of the Europa League in the UEFA Super Cup. The match offers both teams the opportunity to take home a trophy right before Europe's top leagues kick off. Lifting the UEFA Super Cup could bring great momentum to a club ahead of a fresh season.

The 2024 UEFA Cup features Real Madrid, the reigning Champions League winners, and Atalanta, the reigning Europa League winners. Los Blancos defeated Borussia Dortmund to win their record 15th Champions League title while La Dea triumphed over Bayer Leverkusen to secure their first ever European trophy.

Now, the two sides will face off at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland in what should be a gripping match.

When is the 2024 UEFA Super Cup?

The 2024 UEFA Super Cup kicks off on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 3 p.m. ET. Real Madrid are the favorites heading into the match, but Atalanta will be hungry to claim their first ever UEFA Super Cup.

If Los Blancos leave Poland with the trophy, then they will break their tie with Barcelona and have the most UEFA Super Cups (6) of all time. With Kylian Mbappe likely to debut for Carlo Ancelotti's side, the 15-time Champions League winners will like their odds.


Is there extra time in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup?

No, there is no extra time in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup. If both sides are level after 90 minutes, the game's winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

In the past, the UEFA Super Cup has extended into extra time; in fact, Real Madrid conceded two goals to Atletico Madrid in the additional 30 minutes back to lose the 2018 UEFA Super Cup. However, as we saw last year with Manchester City and Sevilla, extra time is no longer a factor, and both teams will need to rely on their penalties to take home the trophy.
