Barcelona 2025 Pre-Season fixture list in full
A new era for FC Barcelona began in the summer of 2024, marking the beginning of a new chapter. Barca's preseason was centred on re-establishing their identity, blending up-and-coming talents with experienced leaders, and fine-tuning their tactics in preparation for a crucial year. This was done under the direction of Hansi Flick, who officially took over managerial responsibilities. Touring the United States, the Blaugrana aimed not just for victories but for building team chemistry, fitness, and momentum heading into a loaded 2024/25 season.
Looking further ahead, Barcelona will participate in the historic, expanded 32-team FIFA Club World Cup in 2025 in the United States, an opportunity to assert themselves on the world stage once again. The club’s long-term project, under Flick, emphasises tactical sharpness, youth development, and returning Barcelona to consistent continental dominance.
As of now, no official announcement has been made about Barcelona's 2025 pre-season plans. Let's examine how their 2024 preseason played out in the interim.

Post-Club World Cup Plans
Following their Club World Cup campaign, Barcelona are expected to remain in the U.S. for a short post-tournament pre-season extension, finalising preparations for the 2025/26 La Liga and Champions League seasons.
