Valencia host FC Barcelona at Estadio de Mestalla on Sunday, 6 September 2026, with kick-off at 15:15 BST in LaLiga. It is the first meeting between the two since Valencia won the reverse fixture 3-1 back in May, and it comes with Barcelona in far better form than the side they beat that day.

Valencia vs Barcelona kicks off at 15:15 BST on Sunday, 6 September 2026, at Estadio de Mestalla in Valencia, in LaLiga's early-season programme.
The two clubs' most recent LaLiga meeting went to Valencia, who won 3-1 at Mestalla on 23 May 2026. That result sits awkwardly against everything Barcelona have done since, and it is the one data point that keeps this fixture from looking one-sided on paper.
Barcelona go into this one on a run that includes a 5-2 win over Rayo Vallecano, a 2-0 win over Athletic Club and a 5-0 win at Elche, all in LaLiga since the season began. Hansi Flick's side have scored freely in every one of those games.
Valencia's form reads the other way. They lost 3-1 away at Deportivo de A Coruña in their last league outing, were beaten 1-0 at home by Real Betis before that, and drew 0-0 with Celta Vigo the game before. They have not scored in their last two LaLiga matches.
Valencia will be without Eray Comert through suspension, and Mouctar Diakhaby is also out. Barcelona are missing Lamine Yamal with a hamstring injury and Fermin Lopez with a foot injury.
