First Liga night at Camp Nou: Barcelona host Athletic Club on 27 August
Postponed Matchday 1 lands at Spotify Camp Nou at 21:00 CEST, with Hamza chasing more minutes.
Four days after Elche, FC Barcelona play their first 2026/27 home league match on Thursday 27 August against Athletic Club (21:00 CEST / 19:00 UTC) at Spotify Camp Nou. Official club and LaLiga listings confirm the postponed Matchday 1 slot.
The fixture is also the first competitive night back at the rebuilt ground. The Champions League league-phase draw falls the same day, so Flick's squad will be stretched.
Hamza Abdelkarim is in the mix after starting the Gamper. Athletic's intensity is a different test from Elche if the 18-year-old is trusted again.
