Where to Watch FC Barcelona vs CE Europa Friendly Match Tonight
FC Barcelona will face CE Europa, a Catalan team from Spain's third division, in their opening pre-season friendly. The match marks the first meeting between these clubs in 95 years, with the last encounter dating back to 1931 when CE Europa won 2-0.
After a strong showing at the FIFA World Cup 2026, several Barcelona stars are eager to bring that momentum into the new season. The Blaugranas finished last season by winning La Liga and the Supercopa de España, though they fell short in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals and Copa del Rey, both times losing to Atletico Madrid.
Key players like Ferran Torres, Pedri, and Pau Cubarsi return as World Cup champions, aiming to build on last year's success. FC Barcelona will continue their friendlies against Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest, and Udinese, before hosting Egyptian club Al Ahly in the Joan Gamper Trophy. Their La Liga campaign kicks off against Elche.
CE Europa’s Recent Form and Ambitions
CE Europa ended the previous season 5th in Group B of the Primera Federación with 60 points, nine behind leaders CD Eldense. They made it to the promotion playoffs but were eliminated by Celta Fortuna in the semifinals. Under new coach Josep Maria Gené, who joined just before pre-season, the club hopes to start strong against Barcelona.
This fixture is special due to its rarity, and CE Europa will be keen to repeat their 1931 victory. After facing Barcelona, they will play Andorra FC and then begin their Primera Federación season against Real Jaen CF.
