The 2023 Copa del Rey Juvenil was the 71st staging of the Copa del Rey Juvenil de Fútbol, the national knockout tournament for youth (under-19) football in Spain.
Format[edit]
32 teams were invited based on their positions in the División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol at the halfway stage (top four in each of the seven groups, plus four highest-ranked 5th-placed), with the Copa del Rey being completed over several months in the second half of the season. Each round consisted of single matches played to a finish. The first round draw was based on geographical proximity, with teams from each regionalised División de Honor group facing one another in most cases.
