Copa del Rey fixtures 2026-27

Copa del Rey fixtures show the next Spanish cup football ties, with dates and kick-off times in WAT, GMT, EAT and SAST. The fixture list above carries the soccer calendar for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and South Africa, including each match’s round and venue.

First played in 1903, the Copa Del Rey brings clubs from different levels into the same national competition. For a viewing group in Lagos or Kampala, arranging an evening around a cup tie starts with checking the round as carefully as the club name. The calendar, results links and format guide help you follow that journey from the opening ties to the final.

Where Are the Next Ties and the Current Round?

Find the next ties in the fixtures list, where the round label separates the opening matches from later stages. Read the date, venue and country time together, especially when an evening kick-off becomes a late night in East Africa. Most La Liga clubs enter in the first round, with the Supercopa participants joining later. The Copa Del Rey table provides competition context, but progression depends on winning a tie rather than accumulating league points.

Where Can You Check Completed Cup Ties?

Open Copa Del Rey results for completed ties and check how the winner was decided. A score after normal time can tell a different story from the outcome after extra time or penalties. That distinction matters when following a smaller club’s progress on mobile between other commitments.

When Do the Next Rounds and the Biggest Clubs Appear?

The round calendar shows when the draw and subsequent matches are scheduled, while individual fixture entries confirm each tie’s kick-off. Treat a draw date and a match date as separate appointments. A pairing can be known before its precise playing time is confirmed, so wait for the fixture entry before organising a watch party. Check the second round and round of 32 labels directly, rather than assuming every surviving club plays on the same evening.

The clubs taking part in the Supercopa enter at the round of 32, which explains their absence from earlier fixtures. Use the entry information alongside the calendar to identify which clubs join at the round of 32. Their participation details belong with this season’s draw information because the qualifying clubs can change. A search for Barca vs Madrid also needs a confirmed pairing: both names appearing in the competition does not establish a meeting.

How Does a Copa del Rey Tie Work?

Most Copa del Rey ties are single matches, with the lower division club hosting when teams from different divisions meet. The semi-finals use two legs, while the final is a single match at a neutral venue. This gives the venue line real importance: a familiar top division shirt can be visiting a much smaller ground, with the home supporters close enough to shape the occasion.

Where Are the Final Dates and the Holder Listed?

The calendar carries the semi-final second legs and final date, including the confirmed final venue. Check those entries before arranging travel or a shared screening. Real Sociedad won the trophy in 2026, beating Atlético Madrid in the final; the holder field identifies the defending champion as editions change. The cup winners qualify for the following season’s Europa League and Supercopa. If the winners have already qualified for Europe through La Liga, the Europa League place passes to the highest placed league side still awaiting qualification. Follow Copa Del Rey stats for the individual records behind each cup campaign.

How Can You Follow the Matches From Africa?

Check the country viewing information beside a fixture for available coverage, then select your local time before making plans. Rights and individual match selections can change, so a Spanish cup listing does not establish coverage of every tie. Nigerian readers following Super Eagles players should check the confirmed team sheet before choosing a match around a particular footballer. Cameroon international Samuel Eto’o won the Copa del Rey with Barcelona in 2009, providing an African connection to the competition’s history; save the fixture and check its status again before kick-off.
