How to watch Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad: Live stream for FREE Copa del Rey final 2026 from anywhere

The Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad live streams in the Copa del Rey final 2026 feature the first piece of major silverware up for grabs in the Spanish season, at La Cartuja in Seville. Diego Simeone's Atleti are desperate to scratch their trophy itch after four campaigns without, while 2020 winners La Real want to add a fourth title to their cabinet. Which way will the final go?

You can watch all the action this Saturday from anywhere in the world using a VPN.

For the fourth time in the past seven seasons, neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona will contest the Copa del Rey final, so Atletico and Real Sociedad will view this as a golden opportunity to pick up silverware.

Atletico eliminated Barcelona in the semis of this competition, just as they did in the last eight of the Champions League in midweek. Though unable to keep pace with Barça in La Liga, Atletico could yet win two trophies this term. They have not tasted success in the Copa del Rey since 2013, so Diego Simeone will feel a cup triumph is long overdue, so as to send Antoine Griezmann to MLS at the end of the season with another trophy in his back pocket.

Griezmann began his career at La Real, who have Pellegrino Matarazzo to thank for turning around a listing 2052/26. The unheralded American only took charge in December but has done a fine job so far, leading his side from 16th to the top seven in La Liga and securing their passage to the Copa del Rey final. Beating Basque rivals Athletic Bilbao in the semis was especially sweet.

Atletico start as favorites, but they are unlikely to have everything their own way in Seville. Real Sociedad have an excellent record under Matarazzo and they have had a full week to prepare for this match, plus captain Mikel Oyarzabal who scored their winner in the 2020 final. An intriguing encounter awaits.

This isn't one to miss, so keep on reading to find out how you can watch Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad in the 2025/26 Copa del Rey final.
