where to watch copa del rey

In most regions, Copa del Rey matches are available through the same broadcasters that carry Spanish football (La Liga), with ESPN+ holding the key rights in the United States through at least the 2026–27 cycle. Exact channels and apps can vary by country, but there is now a fairly clear pattern of where to watch.

Main broadcasters by country

  • United States : ESPN+ is the primary and often exclusive streaming home for Copa del Rey, including the later rounds and final, accessible via the ESPN app or website with a separate subscription. It supports smart TVs, streaming sticks, consoles, and mobile devices.
  • Spain : National public broadcaster RTVE regularly shows Copa del Rey matches, including key ties and the final, either free-to-air or via its streaming platform in Spain.
  • United Kingdom : TNT Sports (often via Discovery+ / former BT Sport ecosystem) and associated streaming apps are among the rights holders showing Copa del Rey games in the UK.
  • France : L’Équipe provides coverage of Copa del Rey, typically via its TV channel and/or digital platforms for viewers in France.
  • Belgium : VTM offers Copa del Rey broadcasts in Belgium, usually through its sports channels or linked streaming services.
  • Central/Eastern Europe : Sport TV carries Copa del Rey in countries such as Hungary and Slovakia, with access via cable/satellite and streaming apps where available.

If you already know who broadcasts La Liga in your country, there is a good chance the same network (or its streaming partner) also shows Copa del Rey, especially from the round of 32 onward.

Streaming tips and schedule checks

  • Look for a “Copa del Rey” or “Spanish Cup” collection inside your local sports streaming service’s football section; ESPN+ and similar platforms often group live and upcoming matches there.
  • Check dedicated football schedule sites that list live TV and streaming schedules for Copa del Rey by country; these are updated as new rounds are drawn and kickoff times confirmed.
  • Some matches involving smaller clubs in early rounds might only appear on domestic Spanish TV or a single international platform, so late listing updates close to matchday are common.

If Copa del Rey isn’t available in your region

  • Broadcasters sometimes do not pick up rights in every country, leaving certain regions without an official TV or streaming option.
  • In those cases, fans typically either follow live text updates, highlights, and clips on major sports sites and social platforms or use legal streaming from neighboring markets when permitted by local regulations.
