How to Watch FC Barcelona vs CE Europa Tonight: TV and Streaming Details
FC Barcelona prepares for their first pre-season friendly by facing Catalan neighbors CE Europa, a team from Spain's third division. This match is notable as it's their first encounter in 95 years; the last time these two sides met was in 1931, when CE Europa secured a 2-0 victory over the Blaugranas.
Coming off the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where several Barca players shone, FC Barcelona aims to carry that momentum into the upcoming season. Their last campaign saw them clinch both La Liga and the Supercopa de España titles but falling short in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals and the Copa del Rey, both times losing to Atletico Madrid.
The squad returns with key players like Ferran Torres, Pedri, and Pau Cubarsi, fresh from winning the World Cup. Their next friendlies will be against Birmingham City, Nottingham Forest, and Udinese. Before kicking off their La Liga season versus Elche, they plan to face Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
CE Europa's Recent Performance and Ambitions
CE Europa finished 5th in Group B of the Primera Federación with 60 points, trailing leaders CD Eldense by nine points. They reached the promotion playoffs but were eliminated in the semifinals by Celta Fortuna. Under new coach Josep Maria Gené, who took charge just before pre-season, the club hopes to build on recent progress and start their preparations with a solid performance against Barcelona.
This match holds special significance since it's their first meeting in nearly a century. The last game’s result still motivates CE Europa to seek another win. Following this friendly, they face Andorra FC before starting their league campaign against Real Jaen CF.
