Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid: The Second Semi-Final

Real Sociedad against Real Madrid is the second of the two Spanish Super Cup semi-finals, at Tüpraş Stadium in Istanbul on 3 February 2027, kicking off at 22:00 local time — twenty-four hours after the opener. Its winner completes the final line-up: whoever comes through here meets the winner of Barcelona–Atlético in the final on 6 February, after two rest days.

This is the tie that decides the second name on the Saturday teamsheet, and with one match settling it — no second leg, no aggregate — Real Madrid and Real Sociedad have every reason to go full-strength. Level after ninety minutes means the result is found on the night under the competition's rules, not in a replay. It is played at Tüpraş Stadium, Beşiktaş's ground on the European shore right by Dolmabahçe Palace, one of the more central and accessible of the three tournament venues.

The central location helps, but a 22:00 start still ends near midnight, so fix your route back before kick-off. If you are also at the opener the night before, note that the two semi-finals sit on opposite sides of the city, a night apart at different grounds — plan them as two separate evenings. February in Istanbul is cold and frequently wet, so warm, waterproof layers are the sensible call. Demand climbs as the date nears, so seat choice is widest now.
