Javier Tebas has once again mentioned the possibility of playing a LaLiga match in the United States, with Bar\u00e7a as the main attraction in 25\/26<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

LaLiga does not rule out taking FC Barcelona<\/a> to play one of its matches of the 2025\/26 season outside of Spain. In an interview for the ‘ESPN’ network, Javier Tebas once again expressed his desire to play an official match of the season that kicks off on August 15 in the United States.<\/p>

“We have a commitment to play in Miami someday. We already talked about involving important teams, or seeing a match between Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid and Barcelona.<\/strong> We’ll see what the calendar allows us to do; the idea is to bring a big club,” explained the president of the employers’ association.<\/p>

In addition, Tebas assured that, due to the bad relationship with Real Madrid<\/a>, it would be much more feasible to reach an agreement with the Blaugrana team. The manager, however, has been planning this possibility for a long time.<\/p>

LaLiga and Relevent, a partnership born in 2018 to bring their matches to the USA<\/h2>

“The official match in the United States will strengthen our position in the North American market, which is the second largest for LaLiga after Spain<\/strong>,” Tebas commented in mid-2024 when referring to the possibility of taking a league match to US soil.<\/p>

Beyond the approval of the employers’ association, the negotiation is complex. In principle, Relevent would be the company in charge of organizing the League match or matches to be played in the United States<\/strong>. The company already has a 20-year agreement for the retransmission of matches and the commercial rights of the Spanish First Division in North America.<\/p>

Relevent, however, has been in a legal battle since 2019 with FIFA and the United States Soccer Federation (US Soccer) over the permits necessary to play league matches from any foreign country in the North American nation. <\/p>
