Basel vs Barcelona Live Streaming, Kick-Off Time, TV Channels Info - Club Friendly

Hansi Flick's men travel to Switzerland for their penultimate game of the pre-season, where they face FC Basel at the St. Jakob-Park. This would be the first time since 2008 that two teams would be playing against each other, with the previous fixtures taking place in the UEFA Champions League, where the Blaugranas won 5-0 away from home and drew 1-1 at the Camp Nou.

FC Barcelona kicked off their pre-season preparations against CE Europa, where they won 4-1, before falling short on penalties against Tom Brady's Birmingham City. They came back to win 1-0 against Nottingham Forest, where Raphinha scored the only goal from the spot, before losing 1-0 to Italian outfit Udinese.

A lot of their first-team players have returned to training, the majority of them being World Cup winners with Spain. The La Liga 2026/27 season has already commenced, but one of the best football clubs in the world currently, FC Barcelona, were given an extended preparation time as most of their players played till the final game of the World Cup.

Lamine Yamal, Jules Kounde, and recent summer acquisition Anthony Gordon are included in the travelling squad by Flick, where the latter might be seen making his unofficial debut for the club. However, Pedri hasn't been included in the squad, along with Marc Casado, who's been linked with an exit from the club.

On the other hand, FC Basel didn't have a decent pre-season either, winning just one, losing one, and drawing their final two games. The Swiss domestic league has already started, and Basel currently sit fifth in the table after three games with two wins and a defeat, with the loss coming against Laussane on matchday 2.

The Swiss club recently hammered FC Courtételle 6-1 in the Round of 64 of the Swiss Cup, which might provide them with an added dash of confidence before taking on the reigning Spanish league champions.

Most of their first-team players featured in the Swiss Cup game, so it would be entirely upon the ex-Arsenal player, Stephan Lichtsteiner, to decide whom to field and whom to rest in this game as they next face FC Zurich in the Swiss Super League.
