The 2026 edition of the Italian Super Cup will also be played with the four-team format used in the last two seasons, both of which took place in Saudi Arabia—the first won by Inter in the final against Napoli and the second, last January, won by Milan against the Nerazzurri. At the end of today's League Assembly, the 20 Serie A teams voted to adopt the Final Four format for the upcoming season as well.

These were the words of the president of the Serie A League, Ezio Simonelli: “It was a day of intense work and fruitful collaboration between the clubs. We laid the foundations for the activities of the various Commissions we have set up and made important decisions, including that regarding the Super Cup format. We now await the decision of the Saudi Arabian organizers, expected by the end of April, regarding the possibility of hosting the next edition of this competition.” The ball is now in the court of the country that, for the next four football seasons, has secured the right to host the Italian Super Cup on its territory on at least two occasions.
The final decision is expected by the end of April, and only then will Serie A adjust accordingly.
If Saudi Arabia does not give the green light, the 2026 Super Cup Final Four could be played in Italy or, alternatively, in another foreign country. In recent weeks, there have been rumors of potential interest from India.
The new competition format includes, by default, the first and second-placed teams in the Serie A championship, along with the winner and finalist of the Coppa Italia.
Based on the current Serie A standings, Inter, Napoli, and Atalanta are competing for two spots in the tournament, while Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri, Milan, Bologna, and Empoli are the four teams still in the race to win the Coppa Italia. The first legs of the semifinals are scheduled for next week, with the return matches set for the week of April 23-24.
For now, however Milan focuses on finishing the season strongly...
Conceição also has to cope with an environment he has known for less than four months, where the pressures are not comparable to those at Porto—except perhaps last season, when the club’s presidential elections foreshadowed stormy winds, which indeed materialized. But Milan is Milan, and Milan is Milan.
"After winning the Supercoppa against Inter, we drew against Cagliari due to an individual mistake, which can happen. Since then, new coaches have been linked to the club every day," Sergio complained last week at the 'Coimbra Football Congress 2025'.
As if the team’s rollercoaster results weren’t already enough to keep him up at night, now the ghosts of Allegri & Co. are giving him chills. Conceição won’t be able to call the Ghostbusters. The only way to chase away the ghosts is… to win. Win as much as possible, at least. Looking on the bright side, the Portuguese coach has nothing to lose. He has already won a trophy with Milan (the Supercoppa), has the chance to add a second with the Coppa Italia, and when he arrived on December 30, Milan was already outside the European spots. Even if he isn’t confirmed, few could point to him as the sole culprit of failure.
