The 2018 UEFA Super Cup was the 43rd edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual football match organised by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the two main European club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The match featured two Spanish sides, two-time defending champions Real Madrid, the winners of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League, and Atlético Madrid, the winners of the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League., setting up a Madrid derby, making it another time 2 teams from the same country faced each other, and the first time 2 teams from the same city clashed. It was played at the Lilleküla Stadium in Tallinn, Estonia, on 15 August 2018, and was the first European club final held in Estonia.
In March 2018, UEFA announced that a fourth substitution would be allowed in extra time and that the number of eligible substitutes had been increased from 7 to 12. The kick-off time was also changed from 20:45 CEST to 21:00 CEST.
