Background
In 2012, Saudi Arabian Football Federation officially decided to launch the Saudi Super Cup following the conclusion of the 2011–12 season. The planned super cup match was set to be held between the 2011–12 Saudi Professional League winners, Al-Shabab and the 2012 King Cup of Champions winners, Al-Ahli. However, the 2012 Super Cup was canceled due to scheduling issues as no appropriate date for the match was found. The Saudi Arabian Football Federation decided to postpone the tournament and hold it in 2013.

Al-Fateh qualified by winning the 2012–13 Saudi Professional League, with 2 games to spare, following a 1–0 home win over Al-Ahli. Al-Ittihad qualified by winning their eighth King Cup title by defeating Al-Shabab 4–2 in the final. This was the 11th meeting between these two sides in all competitions. Both Al-Fateh and Al-Ittihad won four times each, while two draws occurred between them.
