With the transfer of organizing rights for the Ecuadorian Serie A and
Serie B from FEF to the
LigaPro as well as the creation of the
Copa Ecuador in 2018, on 4 July 2019 the FEF decided to approve the creation of a supercup competition to be played by the champions of both the Serie A and the Copa Ecuador a week prior to the start of each league season, starting from 2020. For its
2021 edition and given that the 2020
Copa Ecuador was cancelled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the FEF announced an expansion of the tournament to four teams, which would play in two single-leg semi-final matches and a final between the semi-final winners in the cities of
Guayaquil and
Quito. In addition to the most recent Serie A and Supercopa Ecuador champions,
Independiente del Valle and
Emelec were invited to play that edition of the competition on account of their recent achievements. The 2021 edition was later expanded to six teams, with two teams getting a bye to the semi-finals. The competition reverted to its original format for its following edition in
2023, since the Copa Ecuador was played in the previous year. ==Participating clubs==
