Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona will recover its fourth kit in 2025/26, although not with the colors of the senyera used in recent years. On the contrary, it is a garment that combines the club's emblem colors, with an innovative design.

According to the 'X' account specialized in Barça clothing, '@memorabilia1899', the Azulgrana team will premiere a fourth kit exclusively for the first Liga Clásico against Real Madrid, where Hansi Flick's team will be looking for their fifth victory in a row against the 'Casa Blanca'.

It is a shirt that recovers the traditional vertical stripes in blue and garnet, but with a gradient that will give a unique design to the stripes. In addition, it will have other details in yellow, including the sponsors and numbers.

The shorts, meanwhile, will be red, a color that the team used in the 1986/87, 2005/06, 2010/11 and 2015/16 seasons. In 23/24, the team only used the garnet tone in their shorts during the victory against Cádiz (0-1) in April 2024.

Barça will have a special kit for the Clásico for the 1st time since 2021

The Barça XI in the Clásico of matchday 30 of LaLiga 202/21 against Real Madrid

The last time Barça premiered an exclusive shirt for a Clásico was on matchday 30 of LaLiga 2020/21. In the match played at the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium, the Culés wore an alternative kit that also combined the historic blue and garnet stripes with yellow details.

The shirt, however, did not bring luck to the team then led by Ronald Koeman. The Catalans fell 2-1 with goals from Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos in the first half. Óscar Mingueza scored in the second half, in the middle of a downpour in the Spanish capital.

The match was played in the white sports city, without an audience, due to the health restrictions of the covid-19 pandemic. Finally, Atlético de Madrid would lift that Liga, while Barça kept the Copa del Rey. 

In 25/26, in principle, this kit would only be used in the two Liga Clásicos. However, it is not ruled out that the team will use it in a possible final of the Spanish Super Cup or in a hypothetical Copa del Rey tie.

More details about Barça's fourth shirt for 25/26

According to the specialized portal 'Footy Headlines', the fourth kit, reserved for El Clásico, will use colors called by Nike as:

  1. "Gym Blue" (dark blue)
  2. "Salsa Red" (intense red)
  3. "Opti Yellow" (bright yellow)

The pattern will have a striking and artistic design, different from the traditional blue and garnet stripes or the senyera. It is a brushstroke or brushstroke-type aesthetic, although the complete official design has not yet been revealed.

In that sense, it is a style reminiscent of the 2010/11 season kit, that shirt with red shorts that the team then led by Pep Guardiola wore at Wembley when winning their fourth Champions League.

That season, the Culé kit had yellow details on the neck and sleeves, in addition to the Unicef sponsor, Nike's characteristic swoosh and the name and number of the players. 

For 25/26, Barça plans to launch its home shirt in early July. The second and third kits, which will feature gold and orange, respectively, will be released during the Asian preseason tour, the last week of July.
