Barcelona and Nike set July launch for 2026‑27 kit

FC Barcelona and Nike have agreed to launch the first kit of the 2026‑27 season in early July. The launch date was confirmed after the 2025‑26 campaign concluded. Barça Licensing and Merchandising (BLM) reported that sales of the 2025‑26 kit remain high in the club’s official stores and online worldwide. Internal calculations by BLM indicate that postponing the new kit to July will not impede sales. The decision differs from several major clubs that have already revealed their next‑season kits. Bayern Munich, for example, debuted its 2026‑27 shirt in the Champions League second leg against Paris Saint‑Germain on 6 May at the Allianz Arena. FC Barcelona’s July launch will make the new kit available globally through official retail channels. Fans can expect the new elastic jersey to appear in stores and online at that time.
