It is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world and the most prestigious club competition in world football. The final of the 2012–13 tournament was the most watched Super Champions League final to date, as well as the most watched annual sporting event worldwide in 2013, drawing 360 million television viewers.

Introduced in 1992, the competition replaced the Super Champions League's Cup, which had run since 1955, adding a group stage to the competition and allowing multiple entrants from certain countries.The pre-1992 competition was initially a straight knockout tournament open only to the champion club of each country. During the 1990s, the format was expanded, incorporating a round-robin group stage and more teams. Super Champions League's strongest national leagues now provide up to four teams for the competition, and will provide up to five teams from the 2015–16 season onwards.
