Notes
  • Double-match rounds enforce away goals rule, single-match rounds do not.
  • Games ending in a tie will be decided in extra time; and if it persists, by a penalty shootout.
  • Real Madrid, as participant in the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup will play its Round of 32 games on 29 October 2014 and 3 December 2014.
  • UEFA Europa League qualification:[4] if the Cup winner qualifies for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League, the Cup runner-up will qualify for the third qualifying round, then the 5th and 6th ranked teams in 2014–15 La Liga (always excluding no "UEFA license" and banned clubs) will qualify for group stage and play-off round respectively. However, if the Cup runners-up end in Europa League places (5th or 6th), the 5th, 6th and 7th ranked teams in 2014–15 La Liga will qualify for group stage, play-off round and third qualifying round respectively.
    Similarly, if both finalists qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League, the 5th, 6th and 7th ranked teams in 2014–15 La Liga will also qualify for group stage, play-off round and third qualifying round respectively.
  • At the date of the draw of the first and second round, Murcia was considered a team of Segunda División yet, and Mirandés of Segunda División B.
