Barcelona will play their official home matches at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys until 23 April 2025, when it is expected to return to the Camp Nou still under-renovation works and with no full seating capacity available.[1][2] The club originally planned to return on 15 December 2024 but were unable to due to UEFA regulations stating they could not switch venues midway through the league phase of the Champions League.[3]
This is the first season since 2009–10 without the full-back veteran Sergi Roberto who had departed the Blaugrana club after his contract expired.
^As part of the sponsorship deal, the Spotify logo is replaced by that of various musical artists for promotion in select matches. For the Clásico on 26 October, the logo is set to be that of Coldplay as promotion for their album Moon Music. The club is also connected to Coldplay through the use of song "Viva la Vida" as the club's celebratory anthem since 2008–09.[4]
^In honour of the club's 125th anniversary, the design of the home kit reflects that of the centenary shirt. It is half-and-half blaugrana, rather than striped, as an homage to the first shirts worn by the club in 1899.[5]
^For the first time since 1910, the alternative shorts will be white, similar to the original kit.
^In contrast to the flashback of the home kit, the away kit was designed as "a look into the kits of the future". It is primarily matte black – a colour that has been popular among fans in previous kits – and has a darkened badge rendered in TPU to be transparent and reflective. The details are outlined in maroon and blue, carrying over the half-and-half of the home kit.[6][7]
^The third kit is a tribute to the club's women's team and their success. The green colour symbolises "the hope and rebirth of the team as well as the dawning of a brand new and vibrant era." The shirt has a subtle pattern of a stylised Venus symbol, used to represent the female gender. Several of the 2024–25 third kits designed by Nike, including Barcelona's, pay tribute to the role of women's football in the modern game by featuring a doubled and rotated swoosh that points upwards to signify "together we rise".[8]
^The fourth kit is the same as the 2022–23 season; it features the Catalan senyera flag on the chest horizontally to pay tribute to the club's Catalan identity, except this time, it features new Spotify logo.[9][10]
