Barcelona pre-season 2025: Tour, fixtures, results, tickets & how to watch

Departing from their recent tradition of touring the United States, the Blaugrana will embark on an extensive tour of Asia, aiming to reconnect with their global fanbase and fine-tune their squad for the challenges ahead.

Barcelona kicked off their 2025/26 pre-season preparations on July 13, marking the official return to training under new head coach Hansi Flick. Shortly after regrouping, the squad embarked on a high-profile Asian tour as part of their build-up to the new La Liga season.

The Catalan giants had their friendly in Japan cancelled due to an issue with the sponsor, before they resolved the dispute to get the game going. They then faced Seoul and beat them 7-3. They will also face Daegu.

After completing the Asian leg of their tour, Barcelona will return to Spain to take part in the Joan Gamper Trophy on August 9. The match will serve as a pilot event at the revamped Spotify Camp Nou ahead of the 2025-26 season. The team is set to return to their iconic home permanently after the September international break.

This tour is a crucial part of Barcelona’s efforts to gear up for the upcoming campaign as they look to defend their La Liga title.

The pre-season will traditionally conclude with the Joan Gamper Trophy in early August, which typically serves as the curtain-raiser for the new La Liga campaign. 

The confirmed fixtures are as follows:
