Copa del Rey
26 September 2026 – 24 April 2027 | Copa del Rey 2026/27
The Copa del Rey 2026/27 brings together clubs from across Spanish football in one of the country’s most historic knockout competitions. Beginning with the territorial phase in September 2026, the tournament progresses through the national rounds before reaching the semi-finals in February and March and concluding on 24 April 2027.
Unlike a league season, the Copa del Rey leaves little room for recovery. One difficult away fixture or one standout performance can reshape the competition, giving smaller clubs the opportunity to face some of Spain’s biggest teams along the way. The final will once again take place at Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, with the finalists to be decided as the tournament progresses.
