📷 MARCABarcelona kicks off LaLiga on August 23 with Elche trip
The Blaugrana start their league defence away to Elche in matchday two, hosting Athletic Club at home a week later.
FC Barcelona now have their roadmap set for the 2026-27 LaLiga season. Hansi Flick's side will begin their title defence with a testing away fixture: on Sunday, August 23, they travel to face Elche in matchday two of the campaign, according to MARCA.
Their first home outing comes days later. The Catalans will host Athletic Club on Thursday, August 27, marking their first match with Camp Nou behind them in the season.
A demanding campaign ahead
The season is packed with decisive fixtures for the Barcelona side. Beyond the opening weeks, fans have already circled the El Clásicos against Real Madrid on the calendar: October 25 at Camp Nou and May 9 away. The league season concludes in late May with a visit to Getafe.
Flick will be seeking consistency from the outset, mapping out a demanding path in a campaign where regularity will be key to challenging for the national title once more.
