FC Barcelona’s fixture list for the 2025/26 La Liga season has officially been released, and it begins with a test on the road. The reigning champions will open their title defence with an away match against Mallorca on the weekend of August 16–17.
The trip to Son Moix marks the beginning of a nomadic start to the season, as Barcelona are scheduled to play their first three league matches away from home. Following the Mallorca clash, Barça will travel to face Levante and then Rayo Vallecano, a scheduling decision made to accommodate the final phase of renovation work at Spotify Camp Nou.
Barcelona completed the double over Mallorca last season, securing a narrow 1-0 win at home in April and cruising to a commanding 5-1 triumph away in December.
While the club had hoped to return to their iconic stadium with a home fixture against Valencia, that match is currently under review. Recent footage circulating online has raised concerns about the pace of the renovation, with reports suggesting additional weeks may be required before the stadium is fully operational.
As a result, there’s uncertainty surrounding the exact timing of Barcelona’s grand return to Camp Nou. However, the club remains optimistic that the historic venue will be ready early in the season, ushering in a new era of football under the lights of a fully modernised stadium.
The one fixture all Culers eagerly anticipate is El Clásico against Real Madrid. According to the schedule, Barcelona will travel to the Santiago Bernabéu on October 26, before hosting Los Blancos at home on May 10.
