Real take their place in Wednesday's match in Helsinki after seeing off Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League final at the Stade de France back in May. Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt meanwhile beat Rangers on penalties in the Europa League final to set up their first appearance in this fixture.
New Madrid signings Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni are expected to start on the bench, while outgoing Eintracht hero Filip Kostić looks unlikely to make a planned emotional final appearance for the German side, with his soon-to-be new club Juventus reported to have blocked the Serbian star's farewell run out.
This year's Super Cup looks set to mark a piece of sports technology history, with the game set to feature a semi-automated system to speed up the time taken to reach offside decisions. It will be the first time the tech has been used in European football, with the system also set to be used during this year's World Cup in Qatar. Read on for all the information on how to watch a Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt live stream from anywhere in the world.
