The Copa del Rey is Spain's premier domestic knockout football competition, bringing together clubs from across the Spanish football pyramid to compete for one of the country's most prestigious trophies. Unlike La Liga, the Copa del Rey is decided through a series of knockout rounds, giving lower-league teams the opportunity to face some of Spain's biggest clubs. Real Sociedad are the current champions, after defeating Atlético Madrid on penalties in the 2025/26 final at La Cartuja in Seville to win the trophy for the first time since 2021.
What's new in Copa del Rey 2026/27?
The Copa del Rey does not use a league table or a promotion and relegation system. Instead, clubs from different levels of Spanish football enter the competition at different stages, with the tournament progressing through knockout rounds until the final. This format creates the possibility of encounters between top-flight clubs and teams from the lower divisions, making the Copa one of the most unpredictable competitions in Spain.
The 2026/27 campaign will once again follow a knockout-based structure, with the early rounds providing opportunities for clubs outside La Liga to compete against stronger opposition. As the tournament progresses, the field is reduced through successive rounds before the semi-finals and final determine the eventual champion.
The competition also remains an important route to European football. Winning the Copa del Rey provides the champion with a place in the UEFA Europa League, adding further significance to every round as clubs compete not only for domestic silverware but also for a place in European competition.
