CDA Navalcarnero vs Real Betis Seville: Copa del Rey preview, TV channel and team news

Betis begin their Copa del Rey campaign away to Navalcarnero

Real Betis Seville travel to CDA Navalcarnero on Thursday, 12 November 2026, with kick-off at 18:00 in the first round of the Copa del Rey. The match offers a classic cup contrast: a lower-league side with little to lose against a Betis team expected to take the tie seriously.

For viewers in the United States, the match is listed on ESPN Select, ESPN Unlimited and fuboTV. If you are trying to watch live, those are the official broadcast options currently available for this fixture.

Form guide and what to expect

Navalcarnero come into the tie in decent shape after a 3-1 home win over CD Atletico Paso and a 3-2 away victory at Numancia CD. They also drew 2-2 with CD Guadalajara last time out, so they have shown enough attacking threat to make this a potentially awkward night for Betis.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side arrive in stronger form and with the edge in quality. They beat Elche CF 2-0 away in LaLiga on Sunday and also recorded wins over Malaga CF and Feyenoord Rotterdam in recent weeks. Even after a narrow defeat to Borussia Dortmund, Betis look well set up for a cup tie where patience and control should matter.

Team news

Navalcarnero have no reported absences, which is a positive boost for the hosts as they prepare for one of the biggest matches of their season.

Betis, however, are missing a few players. Cucho Hernández and Junior Firpo are out injured, while Álvaro Fidalgo is also unavailable. That gives Pellegrini a little less flexibility, although Betis still carry plenty of depth for a fixture like this.

Match outlook

The key question is whether Navalcarnero can keep the match tight early on. If they do, the pressure shifts towards Betis, who are the clear favourites but cannot afford to be complacent in a knock-out competition. For the hosts, the aim is to stay compact and look for any set-piece opening or counter-attack chance.

Betis should have too much in the end, but Copa del Rey ties can turn quickly if the favourites are slow out of the blocks.
