Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid renew El Derbi in the 2026 Supercopa de Espana semifinals with a place in the final on the line.

Thursday’s match will take place at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT in the United States and 8 p.m. CET in Madrid.

Atleti shocked Los Blancos in September by cruising to a 5-2 home victory . Julian Alvarez found the net twice in the one-sided victory.

Xabi Alonso and his Galacticos will be looking for revenge this time around. Real's task has been made more difficult by the absence of star forward Kylian Mbappe, who will miss out due to a lingering knee injury.

Mbappe hasn't been ruled out for the final should Real Madrid advance. Los Vikingos will need big performances from Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham to prevail.

The winner of Thursday's match will face Barcelona in the tournament final on January 11. Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 5-0 on Wednesday. Raphinha scored twice in Barca's victory.
