The Copa del Rey is the main cup competition in Spanish soccer. It has a rich history dating all the way back to 1903, making it the oldest soccer tournament in the country played at a national level.
La Liga, by contrast, was only founded in 1929, and the Copa del Rey was in effect the national soccer championship before the league began. The name translates as ‘King’s Cup’ and was created to celebrate the coronation of King Alfonso XIII.
The 2022/23 edition of the Copa del Rey begins on October 19 and will conclude with the final on May 6. A total of 115 teams will enter the competition, but only of those will be crowned the Copa del Rey winner 2022/23.

The Copa del Rey odds are usually similar to those for the La Liga title, so Real Madrid are the favorites for both. The reigning Spanish and European champions are the team to beat in all domestic competitions in the 2022/23 season.
Barcelona have strengthened their squad in the summer transfer market and could challenge for major trophies in Xavi Hernandez’s first full season at the helm. Atletico Madrid might view the Copa del Rey as their best chance to win silverware this campaign, so we can expect Diego Simeone to take this competition seriously.
It is interesting to note that three of the last four winners of the Copa del Rey have not been Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid. With that in mind, do not dismiss the credentials of clubs like Sevilla, Valencia, Real Betis and Villarreal.
