FC Barcelona is set to unveil its vibrant third kit for the 2025/26 season in a highly anticipated match, ready to dazzle with a bold new look.
Fresh off a commanding 6-0 victory over Valencia in La Liga, the Blaugrana are in top form, brimming with confidence as they prepare for their opening European fixture.
The Catalan giants have a storied history in the Champions League, and this season, they’re eager to showcase their ambition on the continental stage.
Adding to the excitement, a new element of their 2025/26 campaign will be unveiled in their upcoming match, promising to captivate fans.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will debut their striking orange third kit for the 2025/26 season in their Champions League opener against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park this Thursday.
The team has yet to wear their new away or third kits this season, having resorted to last season’s third kit in La Liga matches against Mallorca and Levante due to color clashes, and their new home kit against Rayo Vallecano and Valencia.
This will be Barcelona’s third competitive visit to Newcastle, following a 3-2 defeat in 1997/98 and a 2-0 victory in 2002/03, and the debut of the third kit adds a fresh twist to the occasion, moving away from the traditional blaugrana colors.
To optimize their preparation, Barcelona will stay in Newcastle until Friday, training at Newcastle’s facilities that morning before flying back to Spain.
This strategy, implemented by Flick since last season, ensures players avoid exhausting late-night travel after European away games.
As Barcelona aim to kick off their Champions League journey with a statement, the debut of their vibrant third kit symbolizes a bold new chapter.
With Flick’s tactical expertise and a squad firing on all cylinders, the stage is set for an electrifying night in the Champions League.
