The federation announced a distribution plan for media rights, assigning Movistar Plus+ a share of the King’s Cup matches. This arrangement, alongside RTVE, ensures the cup competition is broadcast through the 2024-2025 season. Movistar Plus+ carries rights to at least 55 matches per season, with 45 of those being exclusive. This setup reflects a growing broadcast strategy that balances pay TV with open access options for viewers in Spain, and is part of a broader effort to reach diverse audiences across Canada and the United States who follow Spanish football with interest.
As the current season’s broadcasting rights are allocated, RTVE will begin open-circuit coverage of 15 Cup matches. Specifically, RTVE will show two matches per round, plus all four semi-finals in both legs, and of course the final match, expanding accessibility for fans who prefer free-to-air viewing while still offering premium options through Movistar Plus+.
In discussing the financial landscape, the King’s Cup is highlighted by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as a potential revenue generator. Official statements estimate that annual sales of domestic and international rights could surpass 120 million euros, a significant increase from the previous level of around 15 million per season. Industry observers anticipate that the next three-year average could exceed 40 million euros, reflecting stronger market demand and broader international distribution.
For what this means in practice, Movistar Plus+ tends to broadcast matches starting from the fifth round, including the fourth round in simulcast, and it reserves rights for the semi-finals and final, while shares these pivotal stages with RTVE. This model aims to maximize reach while preserving competitive broadcast windows for top-tier national networks. The evolving rights framework continues to shape how fans in North America can access high-stakes cup action, with coverage often complemented by regional digital platforms and official club channels in the Americas, where interest in Spanish football remains robust.
