Sevilla vs Barcelona will kick off on 19 Sept 2026 at 15:00 EST and 19:00 GMT.
Barça are in ominous form as the chasing pack watches
Defending champions Barcelona are in scintillating form both domestically and in Europe. Hansi Flick's side have won all five of their league matches, and scored 21 times in the process. They've looked irresistible at times, with a fluid front three interchanging and wreaking havoc, even though they haven't been using a recognised striker. Club captain Raphinha is in the form of his life playing as a false 9, new signing Anthony Gordon is already becoming a fan-favourite with his tireless displays on the left, and talisman Lamine Yamal continues to toy with left-sided defenders.

The hosts have started well too. Three wins from five sees Sevilla sitting sixth in the fledgling LaLiga table. The only blemish so far was a home defeat to Atletico Madrid. It's already a massive improvement on last season when they finished 13th in the table, and had the fourth-worst home record in the division. This is the ultimate early test, however, against a fearsome attacking trio that can score goals out of nothing.

Sevilla will be without Ruben Vargas through injury ahead of this fixture, and Luis Garcia's side have no listed suspensions at this stage. Further updates are expected closer to kick-off.
Barcelona travel with two injury concerns of their own. Roony Bardghji and Frenkie de Jong are both sidelined for Hansi Flick, though the squad's depth has ensured results have not suffered in their absence.
