The Uzbekistan Super Cup (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston Superkubogi or Ўзбекистон Суперкубоги) is a one-match pre-season football competition held before the season begins in Uzbekistan every year. It is contested by the winners of the Uzbekistan Super League and the Uzbekistan Cup in the previous season.

History

Supercup was founded in 1999. The first edition of Cup was played in 1999 between Navbahor Namangan and Pakhtakor. This was the only played match until 2014. In January 2012 UzPFL announced that one match tournament recontested and would have been played on 11 March 2012 between Pakhtakor - Bunyodkor. On 7 March 2012 UzPFL informed that Supercup match canceled due JAR Stadiums poor ground conditions and rescheduled to be played later, but the match was not played.

The second edition of Supercup was played on 7 March 2014, featuring Bunyodkor and Lokomotiv Tashkent. If the same team wins both Uzbek League and Uzbek Cup, then Uzbek Supercup is contested by the Uzbek League winner and the League runner-up. This has happened so far in 2014 (Bunyodkor).

The Uzbekistan Super Cup is a prestigious annual football competition that brings together the reigning champions of the Uzbekistan Higher League and the Uzbekistan Cup. Established to celebrate the pinnacle of Uzbek football, the tournament serves as a thrilling curtain-raiser for the domestic football season. Held at prominent venues across Uzbekistan, the Super Cup showcases top-tier talent and intense rivalry, offering fans an exciting clash between the best teams in the country. With a rich history and growing popularity, the Uzbekistan Super Cup is a highlight of the Uzbek football calendar, symbolizing excellence, competition, and national pride.
