2024–25 Copa del Rey
The 2024–25 Copa del Rey, was the 123rd staging of the Copa del Rey. Both the winners and the runners-up qualified for the four-team 2026 Supercopa de España.
Athletic Bilbao were the defending champions, having beaten Mallorca in the final of the previous edition, but were eliminated in the round of 16 by Osasuna.
The final was held at La Cartuja in Seville between Barcelona and Real Madrid on 26 April 2025, with the Catalans defeating their rivals 3–2 after extra time for a record-extending 32nd title. As winners, Barcelona were assured a place in the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League league phase; however, since they had already qualified for European competition via league standings, their place was passed down to the seventh-placed team in La Liga and the UEFA Conference League spot reserved for the seventh-placed team was awarded to the team who finished eighth in the league.
