FC Barcelona will play its first game of the new season against Mallorca away from home. Although Barcelona was originally expected to wear one of their new jerseys for the 2025-26 season, FC Barcelona will instead wear the green kit from last season due to a clash with Mallorca’s home colors.
Barcelona wore the green kit during the away leg against Inter Milan in the Champions League semifinal last season. That same kit has been confirmed to be used against Mallorca in both teams’ La Liga opener this weekend.
Mallorca will wear their new home jersey for the game against Barcelona, with their traditional red colored kit. Barcelona were expected to use their inspired Kobe Bryant away kit for the new season, but due to kit clashes with the Mallorca red kit, the Catalan club had to change.
Barcelona will be playing their first three La Liga games away from home in August and may not wear any of their new kits until the third match day against Rayo Vallecano.
Barcelona expected to wear new kits until September?
According to David Bernabeu Reverter from Sport, Barcelona will once again wear last season’s third kit against Levante next week.
Levante will be the home team next week and has very similar colors to Barcelona, and the Catalan club’s away kit may cause kit clashes with theirs as well.
The report expects that the debut of the new kits will be at least on the third match day against Rayo Vallecano.
It isn’t confirmed if Barcelona will wear their away kit against Rayo Vallecano, but many expect the first time any of the new kits will debut is against Valencia in the fourth matchday on September 14. The match against Valencia is a home game.
