Alcoyano – Real Madrid: when is the Cup played and next Madrid matches

Real Madrid already know their first rival in the Copa del Rey. The whites will face Alcoyano in the round of 32. The match will be played at El Collao on Wednesday, January 20. The RFEF will confirm in the next few hours the final schedule of the meeting and the television network (Mediaset and DAZN have the rights to the Cup) that will broadcast it live.

Before entering the Cup, Madrid has a League commitment ahead of them and, at least, another in the Spanish Super Cup. In LaLiga Santander, the whites face Osasuna tomorrow (9:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga). On Thursday 14 (9:00 pm, #Vamos and Movistar Supercopa) those of Zidane will play in Malaga the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic. If they qualify, Madrid would play the final on Sunday 17 (9:00 pm) at La Cartuja in Seville.

The following week it will be the turn of the Cup with the crossing against Alcoyano. Madrid will resume LaLiga on Saturday 23 with the first day of the first round. Zidane's men will visit Alavés in Mendizorroza.

If the Whites qualify for the second round, they will play their tie on Wednesday 27. It will be at home if the opponent is of a lower category and, if it is another First team, in the field of the team whose ball goes first. Madrid will close the month with another league game. Levante will visit Di Stéfano on Saturday 30 or Sunday 31.
