OneFootball tracks every Copa del Rey round with scores, news and highlights free; DAZN holds most live rights and RTVE Play shows the final free.
Knockout rounds, lower-league giant-killers and a final that half the country watches: the Copa del Rey is Spanish football's most unpredictable competition, and most of it is not on free television. DAZN holds the main broadcasting rights in Spain, while RTVE shows the final and the most high-profile ties — including a semi-final involving a big club — on La 1 and RTVE Play. Between rounds, following the tournament on a phone means live scores, statistics and news rather than video. The single app in this guide, OneFootball, covers exactly that layer for free. We chose it because it integrates results with editorial coverage in one feed, which is the practical way to keep up with a competition spread across midweeks and dozens of fixtures.
OneFootball covers the Copa del Rey free: real-time scores, statistics, news and highlights for every round, with some matches sold individually.
The app pairs a live scoreboard with a football newsroom covering more than 200 competitions, and the feed learns the teams and competitions you care about. For the Copa that means line-ups, post-match reaction and video highlights alongside the result, with occasional exclusive live streams. Those streams are not a package: available matches are bought per event, so it is not a substitute for DAZN, which holds the main rights, and the default notifications can be noisy until dialled back. As a free companion to RTVE Play's free-to-air final, though, it closes most of the gap between rounds.

Questions & answers
Where is the Copa del Rey broadcast in Spain?
DAZN holds the main Copa del Rey broadcasting rights in Spain, which puts most ties behind a paid subscription. The free-to-air exception is RTVE, whose La 1 channel and RTVE Play app show the final and the most notable matches — including a semi-final whenever a major team is involved.
Can I watch the Copa del Rey for free?
Yes, partially. RTVE Play broadcasts the final and selected ties for nothing, and Tivify includes La 1 in its free tier, so you can watch whatever RTVE shows through either app. The rest of the tournament — the full slate of rounds — lives on DAZN and requires its paid subscription. Between televised games, free score apps keep up with every result.
Which app gives instant Copa del Rey results?
FotMob and SofaScore update every Copa tie in real time, with detailed statistics, and both are free. OneFootball, the app reviewed in this guide, also pushes live scores and pairs them with tournament news and highlights in the same feed, so it is the handier pick if you want the result and the reaction in one place.
