Porto have won the Portuguese Super Cup a record 21 times

The Portuguese Super Cup between Porto and Benfica is the first of two live football matches to watch on the BBC.

The fixture kicks off at 20:45 GMT on Wednesday on BBC iPlayer, Red Button and the BBC Sport website.

Then at 00:30 GMT Thursday, the action moves to Argentina for the quarter-final second-leg tie between Racing and Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores.

Seven matches are being aired from the South American equivalent of the Champions League.

Porto won a domestic league and cup double last season and face cup runners-up Benfica in Aveiro.

After 10 games, Benfica sit second in the Primeira Liga behind Lisbon rivals Sporting, with Porto third.

The Super Cup was delayed from the summer because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The BBC has been broadcasting live Copa Libertadores matches since the quarter-final second-leg stage, and will show the remaining matches up to the final on 30 January 2021 at the Maracana in Rio, Brazil.
