In the course of its 123-year history, only 16 different teams have lifted the Copa del Rey, the oldest trophy in Spanish soccer.

Along the way, though, there have been a number of miraculous upsets and unexpected winners that have turned the Copa del Rey into the most unpredictable tournament in Spanish soccer.

| 1 | Barcelona | 32 |
| 2 | Athletic Club | 24 |

Barcelona are the undisputed kings of the Copa del Rey. The Catalans have won the competition a record 32 times, with eight of their triumphs coming in the 21st century.
Athletic Club are next up with 24 Copa del Rey titles. They won the inaugural edition of the tournament in 1903, and they most recently lifted the piece of silverware in 2023–24, over 121 years later.
Real Madrid are surprisingly only third on the all-time winners list. Los Blancos have topped the competition 20 times, but only once in the last decade.
There is then a steep fall off to Atlético Madrid, who has 10 Copa del Rey titles in their trophy cabinet, followed by Valencia with eight.
