Girona vs Barcelona kick-off time
Girona and Barcelona will kick off on 16 Feb 2026 at 20:00 GMT and 15:00 EST.
Match Preview
Girona extended their winless streak to three games after a draw against Sevilla in their latest outing.
Currently sitting in mid-table in La Liga—comfortably clear of the relegation zone—a win over Barcelona would further solidify the Michel-led side's position and provide a much-needed boost away from any bottom-three concerns.

However, Girona face a tough challenge against Barcelona, who are eager to return to winning ways after Atletico Madrid ended their six-match unbeaten run with a heavy defeat in the midweek Copa del Rey semi-final first leg clash.
Barca sit second in La Liga—two points behind leaders Real Madrid and Hansi Flick's side, who have a game in hand, will reclaim top spot with a victory at Estadi Montilivi.
Injuries, key stats

Marc-André ter Stegen, Donny van de Beek, Portu, Álex Moreno, Juan Carlos, and Ricard Artero are all on Girona's injury list, with Azzedine Ounahi a doubt.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have several key players unavailable due to injuries—including Gavi, Andreas Christensen, and Pedri, while Raphinha and Marcus Rashford are rated as major/minor doubts.
Barcelona remain undefeated in their last three encounters with Girona, having won all three matches.
Barca average high shots on goal and big chances created (led by players like Lamine Yamal with 20 big chances created league-wide).
While Girona have one of the weaker top-half defences, they concede frequently and struggle for clean sheets.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belong on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
