Draw for the Copa del Rey round of 16 2023-2024: when it happens, the date, the schedule, how it works, the format, which teams join and TV coverage
The draw for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey 2023-2024 was scheduled for Tuesday, December 12, around 1 p.m. local time.
The field includes 28 teams that advanced from the previous round, plus the four teams that enter this round from the Spanish Super Cup: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Osasuna.
How the draw works and the single-match format of the round of 16 in the Copa del Rey 2023-2024
There are 16 matchups, formed by 32 teams: the 28 qualifiers from the second round and the four clubs making their debut in this phase — Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Osasuna.
During the draw, teams from the Segunda Division B and Primera Division are paired with teams from higher divisions. Matches are played at the home venue of the lower-ranked team. Clashes between clubs from the top tier are avoided in this stage. When two teams from the same category are drawn against each other, the order in which they appear in the draw determines which club hosts the match.
Games take place at the home ground of the lower-category club, provided they meet the minimum standards set by the RFEF. If both teams share the same category, the match venue is the stadium of the club drawn first. The ties are decided in a single game; if tied after regulation time, extra time is played, and if necessary, a penalty shootout follows to determine the winner.
These are the teams confirmed for the Copa del Rey round of 16 in the 2023-2024 edition
