Barcelona return to action in La Liga with yet another road game, this time against Rayo Vallecano.
The Catalans pleaded with La Liga to have their first three games of the season be scheduled away from home, hoping it would give them time for the Camp Nou to be ready for their season debut. Still, delays in the renovation work have made it increasingly likely that Barcelona play their first home game of the season at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.
Before getting too ahead of ourselves, there's a game to be played before the international break. Hansi Flick’s side will look for a more convincing performance after narrowly beating Levante last time out, and will be hoping to go into the international break with a perfect record to start the season.
Rayo Vallecano will be motivated after qualifying to the UEFA Conference League earlier in the week, securing European soccer for only the second time in club history. Vallecas has been a difficult stop for Barcelona recently, with last season’s victory the only one from their past four visits.
Here’s how you can watch Barcelona in their visit to the Estadio de Vallecas on TV and Live Stream.

Getafe visit Barcelona right after to complete a two-game home stand where Flick’s side will be expected to emerge victorious from both matches.
Those two matches will be sandwiched by Barcelona’s 2025–26 Champions League debut. Although Barcelona already know their league phase opponents, it remains to be seen which team they’ll play in their first European match of the season, plus the location of said game.
