FC Barcelona Pre-Season 2024-25: Schedule, complete fixtures, results & telecast details

FCB are set to travel to the United States to participate in the Soccer Champions Tour 2024.

Spanish heavyweights FC Barcelona are set to commence their official pre-season tour in a matter of days, with a total of four friendly matches scheduled in order to prepare for the upcoming 2024–25 season.

After a mixed-bag campaign under former manager Xavi last season, Barcelona decided to part ways with the Spaniard. At the start of the summer, German head coach Hansi Flick was appointed as the successor by President Joan Laporta in order to guide the club back to domestic and European success.

In the 2023-24 season, the Spanish giants finished second in LaLiga, ten points behind eventual winners and arch-rivals Real Madrid. They fell short to Los Blancos once again, as they suffered a hammering 4-1 defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final. To make matters worse, Barcelona also got knocked out in the quarterfinal rounds of both the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League by Athletic Bilbao and PSG, respectively.

Due to their ongoing financial troubles, the Blaugrana find themselves tight-pocketed this summer as they are unable to sign new players.

The club needs to comply with the Financial Fair Play rules of the league in order to successfully register a new recruitment. Despite their issues, the Barcelona hierarchy led by President Laporta are leaving no stone unturned in order to sign their primary transfer target, Nico Williams, from Athletic Bilbao this summer.

FC Barcelona officially kicked off their pre-season preparations on July 10, with the majority of the squad making their return for the training camp. However, several first-team players that participated in the latter stages of either Euro 2024 or Copa America with their respective nations are allowed more time off for vacation. On the other hand, key players such as Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Alejandro Balde, and Ansu Fati are still recovering from their respective injuries.

The first pre-season training under new manager Hansi Flick has excited the Barcelona supporters, as they feel positive heading into the new season. Prior to their official pre-season tour, the club hasn’t played a friendly fixture with any team so far.

FC Barcelona are set to travel to North America once again this summer as they are going to participate in the Soccer Champions Tour 2024 in the USA. During this pre-season tour, the Spanish club is scheduled to play three friendly matches against the top teams in the world.

In their opening game, Barcelona will lock horns with reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando. This will be followed by an exhilarating pre-season El Classico clash against fierce rivals Real Madrid at the MetLife Stadium. To conclude their tour in the United States, Hansi Flick’s side will face Italian giants AC Milan in a thrilling encounter at the M&T Bank Stadium.

Following their return to Catalonia, FC Barcelona will host the Joan Gamper Trophy, where they are set to face French outfit AS Monaco.
