We study a superminimal surface M immersed into a hyperquadric Q₂ in several cases classified by two global defined functions {{\displaystyle \tau }}_X and {{\displaystyle \tau }}_Y, which were introduced by X. X. Jiao and J. Wang to study a minimal immersion f : M\to {{\displaystyle Q}}_{\mathrm{2}}. In case both {{\displaystyle \tau }}_X and {{\displaystyle \tau }}_Y are not identically zero, it is proved that f is superminimal if and only if f is totally real or i\circ f:M\to {ℂ\mathrm{P}}^{\mathrm{3}} is also minimal, where i:{{\displaystyle Q}}_{\mathrm{2}}\to {ℂ\mathrm{P}}^{\mathrm{3}} is the standard inclusion map. In the rest case that {{\displaystyle \tau }}_X\equiv \mathrm{0} or {{\displaystyle \tau }}_Y\equiv \mathrm{0}, the minimal immersion f is automatically superminimal. As a consequence, all the superminimal two-spheres in Q₂ are completely described.
