Copa del Rey Final 2026 Live Streams, Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad, have a real sense of occasion – without Barcelona or Real Madrid present, winning a title is all these teams care about. Atleti have enjoyed four barren seasons, while La Real last got their hands on silverware six years ago – when captain Mikel Oyarzabal’s penalty lifted them to glory.
Under Matarazzo, Real Sociedad have lost only three times. Forget relegation – they are now within touching distance of European football. The Champions League is probably just out of reach, but win the Copa del Rey and they will be assured of a place in the Europa League regardless. Oyarzabal remains the team’s beating heart and main goal threat, but Inaki Ruperez, Jon Gorrotxategi, Yangel Herrera, Igor Zubeldia and Alvaro Odriozola are all out injured.
Atletico have of course already had a week to enjoy, having progressed to the Champions League last four by eliminating Barcelona thanks to goals from Julian Alvarez, Alexander Sorloth and Ademola Lookman – and it was Barça they thrashed 4-0 in the semi-final first leg to secure their Copa del Rey final place. They have already beaten Real Sociedad once this season and Nicolas Gonzalez proved the match-winner in a 3-2 thriller last month. It will also be a big match for Antoine Griezmann – in his last season in Spain, the striker will face his former club La Real in the final.
