The K-League Super Cup, which returned after 20 years, will be held against Jeonbuk Hyundai and Daejeon Hana Citizen.

The Korean Professional Football Federation announced on the 19th that it will hold the "Coupang Play K-League Super Cup 2026" at 2 p.m. on February 21, a week before the opening of the K-League 1 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

The K-League Super Cup will be held in a way that the K-League 1 winners and the Korea Cup winners will face off at the home stadium of the K-League 1 winners of the previous year. If the two competitions are won at the same time, the runner-up team of K League 1 will participate instead. Jeonbuk achieved a "double" in the K League 1 and the Korea Cup last year, and Daejeon won the runner-up team in the K League 1, the highest performance in the club's history.

The rules of the game apply the same as in K League 1. However, if the game cannot be decided for 90 minutes in regular time, the winner will be awarded 200 million won to the winning team and 100 million won to the losing team.

Ticket reservations can be made on the mobile application of Coupang Play on the 6th of next month.
