After the draw held this morning at the RFEF headquarters in Las Rozas (Madrid), we now know the pairings for the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey 2025-26.

Eleven teams from the First Division and five from the Second will try their luck in this round and will face off as follows:
This season's format required that the clubs participating in the Super Cup (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Athletic) face four of the five Second Division teams in the draw.
The Second Division team without a Super Cup rival faces another First Division club.
On January 13, 14, and 15 as a single match, a format that will be maintained in the quarter-finals.
The novelty in this new round of 16 is that the referees will have the help of VAR.
