The match was played between Maccabi Tel Aviv, champions of the 1976–77 Liga Leumit and Maccabi Jaffa, runners-up in the league, as Maccabi Tel Aviv also won the 1976–77 Israel State Cup.

This was Maccabi Tel Aviv's 4th Israel Super Cup appearance (including unofficial matches) and Maccabi Jaffa's first. At the match, played at Bloomfield Stadium, Maccabi Tel Aviv won 3–2.[1] [2]
