Just a week away from their first competitive fixture of the 2026–27 campaign, Barcelona take on Swiss side Basel at the St. Jakob-Park in their penultimate preseason friendly.
La Blaugrana kicked off the summer by thrashing Catalan minnows CE Europa behind closed doors, before journeying to England for a 2–2 draw with Tom Brady’s Birmingham City. Last weekend saw them take on Nottingham Forest and Udinese in quick succession, beating the former 1–0 before losing to the latter by the same scoreline.
The new La Liga campaign has already kicked off, but Barcelona have been given extra preparation time after so many of their first-team stars were involved in the latter stages of the World Cup. That means they can squeeze in two more warmup games, starting against Basel before the Joan Gamper Trophy match with Egyptian side Al Ahly on Wednesday.
Hansi Flick has welcomed back the last returnees from their holidays, including his large cohort of Spanish World Cup winners. They could feature in some capacity, as will several young guns alongside a host of more experienced heads.
