Spain Copa del Rey: Spain's cup before every round
Spain Copa del Rey is Spain's national cup, run by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The 2026-27 edition is the 123rd and gathers 116 clubs: 112 of them start in the first round, drawn into 56 ties, while the four Supercopa de España sides, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad, wait until the round of 32.
One game, hosted by the smaller club, until the quarter-finals
Through to the quarter-finals every tie is a single match at the ground of the lower-tier club; when both play at the same level, the club drawn first is at home. The semi-finals are played over two legs, and the final is one game on neutral soil at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville on 24 April 2027, a venue the RFEF has booked for the finals of 2026, 2027 and 2028.

First round | Tuesday 27 to Thursday 29 October 2026 |
Second round | 2 December 2026 |
