RTVE remains devoted to bringing major sports championships to the public. The public broadcaster continues to strengthen football coverage across the group’s channels and has secured emission rights for the Qatar World Cup, ensuring the tournament remains accessible to audiences. In addition, RTVE has confirmed that the King’s Cup will be shown until 2025, reinforcing its commitment to national football competition and fan engagement across its platforms.
TVE has formally agreed with the Royal Spanish Football Federation, marking a milestone in how the world follows this renowned competition. While Mediaset has carried the Copa del Rey since 2019, the new arrangement broadens the reach and guarantees viewers a total of 15 matches per year across the networks involved. This package helps fans catch key moments from each round, including two matches per round, the four semi-finals, and the grand final where the national teams will strive for the title.
The King’s Cup now sits within RTVE’s expanding sports portfolio, a group that recently secured additional rights through a major deal. Over the next four years, RTVE will broadcast up to 40 matches featuring the Spanish national team, covering major tournaments such as the European Championship and the Qatar World Cup, bringing high-stakes moments to fans nationwide. The expanded slate ensures strengthened visibility for Spain’s national team and greater access for viewers across Canada and the United States who follow La Liga and international football through RTVE’s networks. The arrangement demonstrates RTVE’s strategy to combine domestic cup action with global competitions, providing a comprehensive view of Spain’s football calendar and its athletes.
