The 2024 Copa del Rey final was a football match to decide the winners of the 2023–24 Copa del Rey, the 122nd edition of Spain's primary football cup (including two seasons where two rival editions were played). The match was played on 6 April 2024 at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca.[4]

Mallorca played in their first final since their only victory in 2003, having lost twice prior.[5] This was Athletic Bilbao's 40th final,[note 1] having last appeared in the final in 2021, and its last victory was in 1984.[6][7][8]

Following a 1–1 draw after extra time, Athletic Bilbao won 4–2 on penalties to secure a 24th[note 1] Copa del Rey title, ending a 40-year major trophy drought.[9][10]
