Al Ahli, winners of the King’s Cup, face league champions Al Khaldiya at Khalifa Sports City Stadium in Isa Town, with kick-off at 7pm. The match had originally been slated for 30 August.

It will be the first of two Super Cups this season. A second, for the 2025-26 campaign, is set for 12 December, when Khaldiya meet Muharraq.
