Watch FC Barcelona vs CE Europa Live: TV and Streaming Details
FC Barcelona will kick off their pre-season with a friendly against CE Europa, a Catalan club from Spain's third division. The two sides have not met in 95 years, with CE Europa holding the advantage from their last encounter in 1931.
Following the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where several Barcelona players shone, the team aims to build on that momentum as they start preparations for the new season. Last year, Barcelona secured the La Liga title and the Supercopa de España but fell short in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals and Copa del Rey, both times losing to Atletico Madrid.
World Cup winners such as Ferran Torres, Pedri, and Pau Cubarsi return to the squad, boosting hopes for a strong 2026/27 campaign. The Blaugranas will face Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest, and Udinese in upcoming friendlies before challenging Al Ahly in the Joan Gamper Trophy and then beginning their La Liga season against Elche.
CE Europa's Season and Ambitions
CE Europa finished 5th in Group B of the Primera Federación, earning 60 points but falling short of league leaders CD Eldense by nine points. They reached the promotion playoffs but were eliminated by Celta Fortuna in the semifinals. Under new coach Josep Maria Gené, who arrived just before pre-season, CE Europa looks to make strides this year. Their first match following this one will be against Andorra FC before starting the league against Real Jaen CF.
This match marks a rare reunion between these clubs since 1931, when CE Europa won 2-0. The historical significance adds weight to this friendly.
