2022–23 Copa del Rey

The 2022–23 Copa del Rey was the 121st staging of the Copa del Rey (including two seasons where two rival editions were played), the oldest official football competition in Spain. The winners of the competition would have automatically qualified for the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League group stage; however, as Real Madrid had already qualified for European competition via league standings, their place was passed down to the sixth-placed team in La Liga and the UEFA Europa Conference League spot reserved for the sixth-placed team was awarded to the team who finished seventh in the league. Both the winners and runners-up qualified for the four-team 2023–24 Supercopa de España.

Real Betis were the defending champions, having beaten Valencia on penalties in the previous edition's final, but were eliminated in the round of 16 by Osasuna. Osasuna would go on to reach the 2023 final, where they lost 2–1 to Real Madrid. For Madrid, this was their twentieth Copa del Rey title, and first since 2014.

As across Spain, match times up to 30 October 2022 and from 26 March 2023 were CEST (UTC+2). Times on interim ("winter") days were CET (UTC+1). Matches played in the Canary Islands used the WET (UTC±00:00).
