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

.
