Like previous years, Segunda División B teams played against the La Liga teams which qualified for European competitions, this is: four teams from Pot 1 (Segunda B) were drawn against four teams from pot 2a (Champions) and the three remaining teams in pot 1 were drawn in the same way with the pot 2b teams (Europa League). The five teams in Pot 3 (Segunda División) were drawn against five teams of the thirteen remaining teams of La Liga (Pot 4). The remaining eight teams of La Liga faced each other. The lowest ranked teams from each match played at home on the first leg and if two teams from a match played in the same division then the first one to come out of the draw played at home first.[4]

The first leg was played on 13 December 2011 except for matches involving teams from Pot 2b, which were played on 8 December 2011 (due to Europa League – Round 6, except for Sevilla which were eliminated from the competition) and the match involving Barcelona which was played on 9 November 2011 (due to Barcelona's pariticipation at the FIFA Club World Cup). The second leg was played on 22 December 2011.[4]
