As part of the running sponsorship deal between the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) and Saudi water company Berain, the match will be officially referred to as "The Berain Saudi Super Cup".[10]

This was Al-Ittihad's third appearance in the final. Al-Ittihad lost both of their previous finals. In 2013 they lost to Al-Fateh and in 2018 they lost to Al-Hilal. Al-Ittihad qualified by defeating Al-Nassr 3–1 in the semi-finals.[11]

Al-Fayha made their first-ever finals appearance. Al-Fayha qualified after defeating Pro League champions Al-Hilal 1–0 in the semi-finals.[12]

This was the first meeting between these two sides in the Saudi Super Cup and the first-ever meeting between them in a cup final. This was the 12th competitive meeting between the two with the first meeting dating back to 15 September 2014. Al-Ittihad won 6 times while Al-Fayha won 5 times.[13] The two teams met once in the 2022–23 season with Al-Ittihad defeating Al-Fayha 3–0 at home.[14]
