FC Barcelona are pressing ahead with plans to reopen the Spotify Camp Nou in time for their La Liga match against Valencia on the weekend of 13-14

Earlier in the summer, Barca were confident they could finally return to play at the Camp Nou for the start of this campaign, albeit with a limited attendance while work continued on the stadium. That date was pushed to mid-September, with La Liga agreeing to let Barca play their first three games away from home.

Barcelona have been playing games away from the iconic stadium since 2023 because of the major renovation project that remains ongoing. Full completion is still a way off, but the club wanted to re-open with a reduced capacity this season, after two years at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
