The 2025 Supercopa de España de Baloncesto, also known as Supercopa Endesa for sponsorship reasons, was the 21st edition of the Supercopa de España de Baloncesto, an annual basketball competition for clubs in the Spanish basketball league system that were successful in its major competitions in the preceding season.

Unicaja was the defending champion, which was knocked out in semifinals by Valencia Basket that achieved its second supercup title eight years later than the first one in a close win against Real Madrid.^[1]

All times are in Central European Summer Time (UTC+02:00).

The tournament featured the winners from the three major competitions (2024–25 Liga Endesa, 2025 Copa del Rey and 2024 Supercopa Endesa), the host team and the remaining highest ranked teams from the 2024–25 Liga Endesa season if vacant berths exist.^[2]

The following four teams qualified for the tournament.^[3]

On 22 January 2025, ACB selected and announced Málaga to host the supercup on 27–28 September 2025.^[4][5] The arena was opened in 1999 and it has been the long–time home arena to one of Spain's top ACB teams, Unicaja. The arena originally had a seating capacity of 9,743 spectators, and an area of around 22,000 square meters. In 2007, a project was proposed to expand the capacity of the venue to 17,000 spectators, due to the high demand for seats and tickets by fans of Unicaja. Ultimately, the expansion project was approved, but to a new capacity of 13,000 spectators, rather than the originally planned 17,000. The expansion project was then scheduled to be completed in separate phases. The first expansion phase, which was completed in 2010, increased the seating capacity from 9,743 to 11,000.

The draw was held on 5 September 2025. Real Madrid as the league champions and Unicaja as the cup champion were the seeded teams.^[6][7][8]

Valencia Basket defeated defending champion Unicaja 87–93 in a close semifinal where guard Omari Moore was decisive with his debut with Valencia Basket with 20 points and 26 PIR.^[9] Therefore, the team from Valencia secured the first ticket to its third supercup final^[10] despite the significant absences of Pedro Martínez, who was without his best player, Dominican point guard Jean Montero, as well as key players such as forward Xabi López-Arostegui, point guard Brancou Badio, and one of the signings, former player from Unicaja Yankuba Sima. Unicaja fought hard, dominating the rebound (47–30 overall) but it had poor success from three-point line (7 of 33) and from the free throw line (14 of 24). Ibon Navarro's decision to play without power forward Tyson Pérez, one of the team's most in-form players in the recent Intercontinental Cup and preseason, was surprising.

Before the start of the match, it was pay tribute to the referee Juan Carlos García González in his final match after 28 seasons and 872 matches managed.^[11]

Real Madrid, in Sergio Scariolo's debut as head coach, managed to beat La Laguna Tenerife (72–71) in the final moments thanks to two free throws from Argentine Gabriel Deck, in a clash that Tenerife let slip away after leading by fourteen points. Therefore, Los Blancos qualified to its eighth consecutive supercup final after salvaging a very lukewarm game against La Laguna Tenerife.^[12] The team from Canary Islands came within one final shot from Jaime Fernández of taking the victory, but the guard's three-pointer fell short, and his team was eliminated. Sergio Scariolo qualified to his fourth final as Real Madrid coach, the last in 2001. The recently signed Trey Lyles and the young power forward Izan Almansa were left out to play and the most notable were the aforementioned Deck (12 points and 19 PIR), Edy Tavares (eight points and seven rebounds) and Andrés Feliz at specific moments in the fourth quarter.

Valencia Basket defeated Real Madrid (94–98) and was crowned supercup champion for the second time in its history after winning a thrilling final, featuring a intense and close match. Spanish point guard Sergio de Larrea stood out, scoring 21 points and being named the tournament's MVP, and American shooting guard Kameron Taylor also shone in his former home arena, scoring 17 points.^[13] Pedro Martínez's team thwarted Scariolo's second title with Real Madrid, which were playing in its eighth consecutive supercup final and seeking their eleventh crown in this tournament. Valencia managed to lift their second supercup trophy by being more decisive in the most tense moments. More than 20 PIRs of both Taylor and de Larrea stole the spotlight, but the team from Valencia put together a very complete tournament that demonstrates the exciting project they are aiming for this year, coinciding with the inauguration of its new arena, the Roig Arena. Scariolo decided to leave out Chuma Okeke and bring in Canadian power forward Trey Lyles, who made his debut with solid playing time. For Valencia Basket, center Neal Sako arrived in time, although it also had significant drops like Jean Montero, Xabier López-Arostegui, and Yankuba Sima, among others.
