Barcelona Femení play Atlético Madrid May 16

FC Barcelona Femení and Atlético de Madrid play the Copa de la Reina final on Saturday, May 16, in Las Palmas, with Barcelona one match from adding another domestic trophy to their 2025-26 season. The Royal Spanish Football Federation said the final will be staged at Estadio de Gran Canaria, with kickoff set for 20:00 local time on the island and 21:00 in mainland Spain. Barcelona arrive with the Liga F title already secured and with another final seven days away. UEFA says Barcelona will face OL Lyonnes in the Women’s Champions League final on Saturday, May 23, at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo. ### Which match is being played on May 16, and where? (rfef.es) The RFEF said Saturday’s game is the final of the 2025-26 Copa de la Reina Iberdrola, Spain’s main domestic knockout competition in women’s football. The federation said Barcelona and Atlético are the last two teams standing from the tournament field and are meeting at Estadio de Gran Canaria in Las Palmas. (uefa.com) RFEF materials for the final said the game is a repeat of the 2025 title match, which Barcelona won in Huesca. The federation’s final dossier said the match will be broadcast by La 2 and Teledeporte. ### What is at stake for Barcelona? Barcelona’s official women’s schedule lists Saturday’s match as a final and shows a second final against OL Lyonnes on May 23. (rfef.es) That leaves Barcelona playing for two trophies in the space of a week. UEFA’s competition page says Barcelona reached the Women’s Champions League final after eliminating Bayern Munich, while OL Lyonnes advanced past Arsenal. (rfef.es) The Copa de la Reina final therefore comes as Barcelona manage a domestic cup decider immediately before a European title match. ### What has the Spanish federation said about the final? The RFEF said the Copa de la Reina final is the last match of this season’s edition of the competition and described Barcelona and Atlético as the two remaining contenders from a tournament that began in September 2025. (fcbarcelona.com) The federation also published matchday programming and a separate final dossier on Saturday. (uefa.com) A federation ticket notice published on April 30 said the final would close the 44th edition of the tournament. Atlético, in its own ticket sales notice, said seats for its supporters were priced at 5 euros, 10 euros and 15 euros in the designated sections. ### How does Atlético come into this game? (rfef.es) Atlético de Madrid’s club website said the team would contest the 2026 Copa de la Reina final at Estadio de Gran Canaria and opened general ticket sales for supporters earlier this month. The club’s notice focused on access for traveling fans rather than squad news, but confirmed Atlético’s place in the final. (rfef.es) The RFEF’s competition page lists Atlético’s route to the final alongside Barcelona’s, placing the Madrid club back in the showpiece match one year after losing the 2025 final. The federation’s pre-match coverage cast the game as another meeting between two of the leading sides in Spain’s women’s game. ### What comes next after Saturday? (atleticodemadrid.com) UEFA said the next confirmed date on Barcelona’s schedule after the Copa de la Reina final is May 23, when the club plays OL Lyonnes in the Women’s Champions League final in Oslo. Barcelona’s official fixture list also shows that match kicking off at 18:00 CEST. The Spanish federation said Saturday’s final starts at 20:00 local time in Gran Canaria, while Barcelona’s club schedule lists the same game at 21:00 peninsular Spain time. (rfef.es) Those two times refer to the same kickoff, one week before Barcelona’s next final in Norway. (rfef.es) (fcbarcelona.com)
