The 2026 Copa del Rey kicks off with a heavyweight quarter-final at the Roig Arena, as Real Madrid Baloncesto faces the defending champions, Unicaja Málaga (Baloncesto Málaga). This matchup is a direct sequel to last year's final, where Unicaja pulled off a stunning victory to claim the trophy. Real Madrid, currently leading the Liga Endesa, enters the tournament seeking redemption and their first cup title since 2024. While Madrid boasts the interior presence of Walter Tavares and the playmaking of Facundo Campazzo, Unicaja’s fast-paced, aggressive style under Ibon Navarro has consistently troubled the "Blancos." With the memory of their recent high-scoring league encounter fresh in both teams' minds, this opening-day clash is set to be a tactical masterclass with the intensity of a grand final.
