This was the fifth all-Spanish Super Cup, and the fourth in the last five years. This was also the first Super Cup to be played by two teams from the same city. A Spanish side has appeared in the Super Cup for nine of the previous ten years. Additionally, as both teams are from Spain, the Super Cup was guaranteed to be won by a Spanish team for the ninth time in ten seasons and for five consecutive years.

Real Madrid were aiming to win their fifth Super Cup, which would tie them with record-holders Barcelona and Milan, while having won the last two editions, have the chance to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Cups. On the other hand, Atlético Madrid, having won the previous two Super Cups they played in, had the chance to become the first team to win their first three Super Cups.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/printoutfiles/competitions/uefasupercup/2018/e/e_2023370_pk.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180816063140/https://www.uefa.com/printoutfiles/competitions/uefasupercup/2018/e/e_2023370_pk.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 August 2018 |title=UEFA Super Cup – 2018 season: Match Press Kits |website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations |format=PDF |date=July 2018 |access-date=15 August 2018}}

This was the tenth Madrid Derby match in European competitions, with all previous nine matches having been in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid held the advantage with 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, and have never been knocked out by Atlético Madrid either over two legs or in a one-match decider.
