Saudi Super Cup format, qualified teams, & history of competition
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation has revealed a new Saudi Super Cup structure for 2023, which will see the representation of four teams. From January 24 to January 29, 2023, this tournament will be held in Riyadh. According to the draw made on Saturday, Al-Ittihad will square off against Al-Nassr in the first semi-final match, and Al-Fayha will face-off against Al-Hilal in the second.
Al-Hilal won the previous Saudi Super Cup for 2021 after defeating Al-Faisaly on penalties in the championship game and with its three titles, it also has the most crowns. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr is the only team to have won the trophy in back-to-back seasons and Al-Ittihad holds the unfortunate record of losing in back-to-back finals. Elsewhere, Al-Fayha will be making their debut in this competition after emerging victorious in the 2021-22 King Cup.
| Team | Qualification Method | Appearance | Titles |
| Al-Hilal | 2021–22 Saudi Professional League winners & 2021–22 King Cup runners-up | 6th | 3 |
| Al-Fayha | 2021–22 King Cup winners | 1st | 0 |
| Al-Ittihad | 2021–22 Saudi Professional League runners-up | 3rd | 0 |
| Al-Nassr | 2021–22 Saudi Professional League third place | 5th | 2 |

How can European and American fans watch broadcast of Saudi Pro League?
Ronaldo supporters in the US are in a similar dilemma to those in India and many other nations since there are currently no US networks set to air the Saudi Pro League this season. Saudi Super League’s matches can only be seen by US fans that have a Shahid subscription. The monthly fee for the sports package is $18.
