The Bulgarian Supercup is the trophy won in a football match held between the football club that has won the Bulgarian first football division in the season that ended in the year of the match and the holder of the Bulgarian Cup at that time. In case the champion of Bulgaria has also won the cup, the Bulgarian Cup finalist competes with the champion in the match for the trophy. The Supercup match is usually held during the weekend before the start of a new season. Since 2004 the Supercup game has been an annual event. The most successful club in the event is Ludogorets Razgrad with four Supercup titles and three times being runners-up. LudogoretsRazgrad is the club that has participated in most seasons of the Supercup with seven appearances. The competition has been dominated by Sofia-based teams. The Sofia teams have won together a total number of 7 titles.
After the political changes of 1989 in Eastern Europe the Bulgarian Supercup match was suspended. Fourteen years later the Bulgarian Professional Football League in association with the Bulgarian Football Union decided to restore the event organising a Supercup match between the champion of the 2003-04 seasonLokomotiv Plovdiv and the 2003–04 Bulgarian Cup holderLitex Lovech. The match was held at Naftex Stadium in Burgas and Lokomotiv won 1-0 after a last-minute goal by Ivan Paskov. Since the restoration of the tournament in 2004 eight teams have participated in the event and six of them have managed to win the trophy - Lokomotiv Plovdiv, Levski Sofia, CSKA Sofia, LitexLovech, Ludogorets Razgrad, and Beroe Stara Zagora. Since 2004 all the winners of the Supercup trophy have also been runners-up in other editions of the tournament, making the inaugural runner-up Chernomorets Burgas in 1989 the only participant in the event to not have won the trophy. In 2011 the winner of the cup CSKA Sofia became the single most successful team in the event, winning their fourth trophy as they beat Litex Lovech with final score 3–1. Also, as of 2011 Litex Lovech has participated six times in the Supercup match - most of all other participants. From 2004 onwards a brand new trophy is made for every event as it was decided by the organisers that each Supercup winner should retain the trophy in perpetuity. However, three designs have been used for the trophy as of 2014 - one for the Supercups of 2004–2006, another for the trophies of 2007-2010 and the third from 2011 onwards. The current trophy was designed in Italy in 2007 and is 100 cm tall.
Supercup finals
§Note: The 2016 Bulgarian Supercup was meant to be the 14th Bulgarian Supercup, an annual Bulgarian football match played between the winners of the previous season's Bulgarian A Football Group and Bulgarian Cup. The game was to be played between CSKA Sofia, winners of the 2016 Bulgarian Cup Final, and Ludogorets Razgrad, champions of the 2015–16 A Group. However, prior to the match CSKA Sofia bankrupted, followed by taking another team's professional license. As a consequence, the 2016 Bulgarian Supercup final was not held.
