Barcelona 2025-26 fixture list analysis: El Clasico, Camp Nou return and key dates
The defending champions will begin their season away from home in the first three matchdays of the season on request, as they seek extra time to get Camp Nou ready. Renovation work continues, and Barcelona's first game back at their old stadium will be after the first international break, against Valencia on the 14th of September (all dates are the Sunday of the weekend before final times are confirmed). Before that, Barcelona travel to RCD Mallorca first, then LevAwayante and Rayo Vallecano.
Run-in to first Clasico at Santiago Bernabeu
Barcelona face Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season on the 28th of October at the Bernabeu. That comes in Matchday 10, and beforehand, Barcelona have a mixed run of Getafe (H), Real Oviedo (A, midweek game), Real Sociedad (H), Sevilla (A) and Girona (H) after the October international break.
Tricky run to close out first round
Barcelona's hardest run of the first round comes at the tail end. A trip to Real Betis is followed by Osasuna (H) and Villarreal (A) in the final game of 2025 on the 21st of December. The Blaugrana return to action on the 4th of January against Espanyol away in the Catalan derby, before hosting Atletico Madrid. As the Copa del Rey and Spanish Supercup ramps up, Barcelona are away at Real Sociedad the following weekend.

Tough away trips after March international break
Arguably Real Madrid's toughest run comes in the final two months of the season, and it is similar for Barcelona. While Athletic Club at San Mames on the eighth of March (MD27) stands out as their next big fixture in 2025, their toughest run begins in April.

Coming from an international break, Barcelona travel to the Metropolitano to face Atletico Madrid. Getafe and Osasuna are their following away trips either side of home games against Espanyol and Celta Vigo. These games will occur during the Round of 16 and quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey final (25th of April) is after the Celta clash at Camp Nou in midweek.
El Clasico and out
The first Clasico back at Camp Nou will be on the 10th of May 2026, with Real Madrid in town. Barcelona then go to Mendizorroza to play Alaves in midweek, before welcoming Real Betis to the Catalan capital, and finishing against Valencia at Mestalla – a difficult closing run for Hansi Flick's side.
Barcelona will be hoping to get to December in solid position given their tough run at the end of it, and on paper the opportunity to ramp up into April and May. The final two months of the season will bring plenty of difficulty for the Barcelona be involved in all three major competitions too.

UEFA Women's Euro 2025: Sweden Into Quarterfinals After Easing Past Poland
Sweden advanced to the quarterfinals at the 2025 Women's Euro by beating Poland 3-0 on Tuesday, a result that also sent Germany through to the knockout rounds from their group. A hat trick of headed goals by three different players was fair reward for relentless attacking down Sweden's right flank that left the overmatched Poland defense exposed. Sweden had already struck the crossbar with two headers before center forward Stina Blackstenius opened the scoring in the 28th. Captain Kosovare Asllani padded the lead in the 52nd and substitute Lina Hurtig got a key third in the 77th. That goal sent Sweden top of the standings on goal difference ahead of Germany, ensuring it only needs a draw to win the group when the teams meet Saturday. Germany also got its second win earlier, beating Denmark 2-1 after trailing at halftime. Check out the highlights as Poland took on Sweden in the UEFA Women's Euro 2025. Poland almost scored a consolation goal in stoppage time that would have dropped Sweden below Germany, but Milena Kokosz's long-range shot struck the inside of the post and went to safety. The winner of Group C will likely avoid Euro 2025 favorite Spain's half of the knockout bracket. The group runner-up between Sweden and Germany would be on a path to meet Spain in the semifinals. Poland now has two losses and no goals scored on its major tournament debut, after losing 2-0 to Germany. Captain and star forward Ewa Pajor was kept isolated by the Sweden defense, which cut off most passes seeking her out. The only eastern European nation in the 16-nation lineup at Euro 2025, Poland had arrived on an 11-game unbeaten run, including 10 wins. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd was a constant threat and involved in so many of her team's 60 total attacks that led to 23 attempts on the Poland goal. Sweden got another bonus when Fridolina Rolfo — a teammate of Pajor at Barcelona — came on as a late substitute for her first action on the left flank after being a pre-tournament doubt because of an injury. Rolfö came on to replace Madelen Janogy who had struck the bar with a header in the 12th. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
