The Spanish Copa Del Rey 2022-23 quarterfinals are set to begin on Thursday, January 26, 2023. Copa Del Rey is a lucrative business for the clubs who compete in it.

Copa Del Rey 2022-23 prize money explored
The Spanish Football Association announced a total award of £1 million for the winner and £600,000 for the runner-up of the Spanish Copa Del Rey 2022-23. However, these figures are not always fixed, and a variety of other important factors, such as ticket revenue and television rights, come into play.
In terms of earning money, the big clubs in the tournament always have a slight advantage over the other teams in the competition. Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Villareal, Athletico Madrid, Athletic Club, and Valencia all have premier access to TV across the world and can thus earn the most money from TV rights deals.
Tickets are another important source of revenue for teams. The revenue from ticket sales is vital in determining the clubs’ prize money for finals and knockout round matches. As a result, 15% of the revenue generated from ticket sales is divided equally between the two finalist clubs. While the remaining funds are invested in other football development projects.
Considering these factors, if Real Madrid or Barcelona win the Copa Del Rey in 2023, they would collect up to £1.8 million in prize money, while the runner-up will receive up to £900,000. The following is the entire allocation of Copa Del Rey 2023 prize money.
