The 2026–27 La Liga season may already be in full swing, but Barcelona are still in preseason mode, preparing to face Basel in Switzerland this Sunday.
The reigning Spanish champions and Real Madrid were both granted additional preparation time ahead of the new campaign after numerous first-team players enjoyed lengthy runs at the 2026 World Cup. Hansi Flick only recently reunited with his group of world champions, most notably Lamine Yamal and Pedri, just days ago. New addition Anthony Gordon also linked up with the squad following England's third-place finish at the tournament.
The star players sat out preseason fixtures against CE Europa, Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest and Udinese. Next on Barcelona's schedule are Basel, a side that has already begun their Swiss Super League and Swiss Cup campaigns.
The Catalan club will be looking to deliver a strong showing before heading back home for the Joan Gamper Trophy clash against Egyptian outfit Al Ahly.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the upcoming friendly.
