The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted European football scheduling, forcing UEFA to postpone and relocate the 2019–20 club finals. The originally planned Super Cup venue of Porto, Portugal, on 12 August 2020 was abandoned when the UEFA Executive Committee awarded that slot to the rescheduled Champions League final.
On 24 September 2020, Bayern Munich faced Sevilla at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest in the 45th UEFA Super Cup. Bayern, winners of the 2019–20 Champions League, defeated Europa League holders Sevilla 2–1 after extra time. Up to 30% of the stadium's capacity was admitted, making it the first official UEFA match with fans since competitions resumed in August 2020.
Bayern Munich secured their second UEFA Super Cup title. The match functioned as a successful pilot event for limited-capacity crowds at UEFA competitions during the pandemic, informing future decisions by UEFA's 55 member associations about the gradual return of spectators to football venues.
