The 2022 Copa del Rey de Baloncesto was the 86th edition of the Spanish Basketball King's Cup. It was managed by the ACB and was held in Granada, in the Palacio de Deportes in February 2022.[1]

Barça defended successfully the title and conquered its second consecutive cup, 27th overall.

All times were in Central European Time (UTC+01:00).

Qualified teams

The top eight ranking teams after the first half of the 2021–22 ACB regular season participated in the cup.[2]

On December 27, 2021, the ACB clubs agreed unanimously to extend the scheduled date for the end of the first half of the regular season and qualification for the Copa del Rey no later than January 30, thus facilitating the recovery of postponed matches and competitive equality between all clubs. Since all the scheduled matches have not been played as of January 30, the win percentage as of January 30 was taken as the main criterion for qualifying for the Copa del Rey, counting only the matches corresponding to the first half of the regular season.[2]
