Observations of young SNe in the (∼ 0.1−100 keV) X-ray band allow to establish physical key parameters, such as the circumstellar matter (CSM) density, the mass-loss rate of the progenitor and the temperature of the outgoing and reverse shock as a function of time. Over the last ∼ 25 years, a small number of young SNe has been detected with orbiting X-ray observatories shortly after the outburst (days to months). Some highlights of recent observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton are presented and implications as to our understanding of the physical processes giving rise to the X-ray emission are briefly discussed.
