The Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, formerly known as the DFB-Supercup and DFL-Supercup and also known as the German Super Cup, is an annual football match in Germany that features the winners of the Bundesliga championship and the DFB-Pokal. The competition is run by the Deutsche Fußball Liga (English: German Football League).

History and rules The competition was founded in 1987 as the DFB-Supercup, run by the German Football Association (DFB). From 1992 to 1996, it was known as the "Panasonic DFB-Supercup" for sponsorship reasons. It was played up to the 1996 season, before being replaced by the DFB-Ligapokal (later the DFL-Ligapokal), a pre-season league cup competition, from the 1997–98 season. In 2008, although not officially sanctioned by any footballing body, the match returned as the T-Home Supercup, featuring Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double winners Bayern Munich and fellow DFB-Pokal finalists Borussia Dortmund. The match was a one-year replacement for the DFB-Ligapokal, which was cancelled for one season, due to schedule crowding caused by UEFA Euro 2008. The competition was reinstated as the DFL-Supercup from the 2010–11 season at the annual general meeting of the Deutsche Fußball Liga on 10 November 2009.

Since 2010, in contrast to the DFB-Supercup, if one team wins the double (league and cup), the winner plays the runner-up of the Bundesliga. No extra time is played in the case of a draw after 90 minutes, the match is then decided by a penalty shoot-out. The match typically is played at the home of the cup holders, or the Bundesliga runners-up in the case a team wins the double, though this is not a rule, as the DFL ultimately decides on the venue.

From the 2025–26 season, the competition was renamed in honour of Franz Beckenbauer.
