The Spain Cup (Spanish: Copa España) is an annual 2nd-tier level league cup competition for Spanish basketball teams, that is organized by the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB). It is contested annually by clubs from Primera FEB and Segunda FEB, Spain's 2nd and 3rd-tier level leagues. It was played for the first time in the 2024–25 season.
History
On 24 May 2024, the Spanish Basketball Federation announced the creation of the new Spain Cup with the aim to replace the Copa Princesa de Asturias and the Copa LEB Plata by merging both competitions. It made its debut in the 2024–25 season.[1]
Format
For the 2024–25 season, 40 teams from Primera FEB and Segunda FEB joined the competition in its first stage, and were divided into 8 groups of five teams. The group winners joined the quarter-finals where the four winners finally met at a Final Four.[1]
For the 2025–26 season, the tournament was expanded to 46 teams with the participation of all teams from Primera FEB and Segunda FEB. It will begin with a preliminary group stage in which the 28 teams from Segunda FEB will be divided into 7 groups of four teams. The 14 highest-ranked teams from the group stage will join the knockout phase alongside the 18 teams from Primera FEB in a sudden-death phase where the four winners will conclude at a Final Four.[2]
Prizes
Prize money
Starting with the 2025–26 season, the winning team will receive, along with its trophy, a cash prize of €50,000. This prize would have an additional €15,000 for the highest-ranked team from the Segunda FEB if the winner is from the Primera FEB.[2]
