The
Copa del Rey
returns to
RTVE
.
The public channel has acquired the rights to the sports competition, in the hands of
Mediaset
from 2019, until
2025
.
Specifically,
RTVE
will offer 15 open matches each season: two from each round, the four semifinal matches and the final.
The winner of the rest of the matches will be announced soon when the sale process is in the second round.
In this way, RTVE leaves
Mediaset
without any sports competition , since the
Copa del Rey
was the only competition for which it still held the rights.
The last
Copa del Rey
match broadcast on the public channel was the final won by Valencia in 2019.
The
Royal Spanish Football Federation
put the rights to the
Copa del Rey
out to tender after finalizing the agreement with
Mediaset
with a reserve price for the territory of Spain of
22.14 million euros
.
According to the
RFEF
, in the next three seasons, the RFEF will even be able to reach an amount of income of more than
120 million euros
from the national and international sale of the rights to the
Copa del Rey
.
