As part of the running sponsorship deal between the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) and the Diriyah company, the match was officially referred to as "The Diriyah Saudi Super Cup".
This was Al-Ittihad's fourth appearance in the final. Al-Ittihad were the defending champions having beaten Al-Fayha in last year's final. Al-Ittihad lost the 2013 and 2018 finals to Al-Fateh and Al-Hilal respectively. Al-Ittihad qualified by defeating Al-Wehda 2–1 in the semi-finals.
Al-Hilal was making their sixth finals appearance, the most by any club. They won the title three times, in 2015, 2018, and 2021. Al-Hilal qualified after defeating derby rivals Al-Nassr 2–1 in the semi-finals.
This was the second meeting between these two sides in the Saudi Super Cup and the eleventh meeting in a cup final. Al-Hilal previously defeated Al-Ittihad 2–1 in the 2018 edition. In the ten previous cup final meetings, both teams won five times each with the first cup final dating back to the 1964 King Cup final. This was the 162nd competitive meeting between the two sides in all competitions. In their prior encounters, Al-Hilal won 73 times, Al-Ittihad won 42 times, and the two teams drew 46 times. The two teams had met five times previously in the 2023–24 season, with Al-Hilal winning all five meetings.
