The 2026/27 UAE Super Cup, officially called the Emaar Super Cup, is scheduled for Sunday, November 29, 2026. Al Ain and Shabab Al Ahli are due to meet at 7:30 p.m. in the United Arab Emirates (UTC+4) at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. That is 12:30 p.m. in Brasília (UTC-3) on the same day. The UAE Pro League announced the fixture on October 20.
The clubs qualified through different finishing positions in 2025/26: Al Ain won the ADNOC Pro League and the UAE President's Cup, while Shabab Al Ahli finished second in the league. The match remained scheduled as of the October 25 check, so there was no final result to report.

How each club earned its place
The line-up announced by the league pairs the winner of two domestic competitions against the league runners-up. The cup involved is the UAE President's Cup, not the League Cup (ADIB Cup).
| Al Ain | Winners of the ADNOC Pro League and UAE President's Cup in 2025/26. |
|---|---|
| Shabab Al Ahli | ADNOC Pro League runners-up in 2025/26. |
With Al Ain having won both the league and President's Cup, the announced final is against the league's second-placed club. This describes the 2026/27 edition and does not, on its own, establish a universal rule for other seasons.
Super Cup history and the most recent meeting
In its October 20 announcement, the UAE Pro League describes Shabab Al Ahli as the Super Cup record holders with seven titles and says Al Ain are seeking a fourth. Those are the organiser's Super Cup figures in that specific announcement; they should not be combined with trophies from other competitions.
The teams also met in Matchweek 6 of the 2026/27 ADNOC Pro League. On October 17, Shabab Al Ahli beat Al Ain 2-0 at Rashid Stadium, with goals from Sardar Azmoun and Kauan Santos Silva, according to the league's official match report. That result belongs to the league season and does not change how either side qualified for the Super Cup.
Why is it called the Emaar Super Cup?
The league says Emaar has sponsored the Super Cup since the 2024/25 season under a four-season agreement. For November's final, it announced the slogan “Building a Legacy” and a pre-match ceremony. The event and fixture remain scheduled for the announced date, subject to any official updates.
