Barcelona kick off their 2026–27 La Liga season with a road trip to Elche this Sunday, as Hansi Flick's squad looks to get their title defense off to a flying start.
La Blaugrana dominated the league standings last season en route to consecutive championships, and their prospects of a historic three-peat already appear bright. The high-profile signing of Rodri signals serious ambition, bringing yet another elite quality to an already formidable squad.
A winning start against Elche seems likely, particularly given Barça's 13-match unbeaten run in this matchup—including 3–1 wins both home and away last season. Martín Anselmi's side, who only just survived relegation in 2025–26, will need a near-flawless performance to take anything from the game.
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the Catalan giants' first competitive outing of the new campaign.
