Official: Barcelona find out their opponents for the 2025/26 UCL League Phase | OneFootball

FC Barcelona finally know their rivals for this season’s UEFA Champions League following today’s eagerly anticipated league phase draw. With high expectations surrounding Hansi Flick’s men, the Catalan giants will face a mix of European heavyweights and tricky challengers on their road to qualification.

One of the standout fixtures will be a home clash against Paris Saint-Germain. The French champions, who lifted last season’s UCL trophy, will provide one of Barça’s sternest tests. At the same time, Flick’s side boasts enough quality to make it a truly mouthwatering contest.

Another blockbuster tie sees Barça travel to England to take on Chelsea, the reigning FIFA Club World Cup holders. Stamford Bridge promises a hostile atmosphere, and the Premier League outfit is more than capable of troubling La Blaugrana.

The draw also paired Barcelona with Eintracht Frankfurt, who will visit Catalonia for what could be a dangerous fixture. The German side has built a reputation for upsetting bigger clubs, and Flick’s men will need to be alert.

Away from home, Barcelona will also face Club Brugge. While the Belgian giants may not carry the same reputation as some of the other opponents, underestimating them would be a costly mistake.

Two further home games will be against Olympiacos and Copenhagen. Both sides are defensively resilient and tactically disciplined, which could make for tense encounters at the Olympic Stadium.

Finally, Barça will round off the league phase with away trips to Slavia Praha and Newcastle United. Prague has often been a difficult ground for traveling teams, while Newcastle’s St James’ Park is among Europe’s most intimidating venues. Picking up points in both matches could prove decisive for the Catalan side’s progression.

With only the top eight teams qualifying directly for the Round of 16, Barcelona will need consistency as well as big-game performances to secure a smooth passage. Anything less could see them drop into the playoff spots, making every fixture in this demanding league phase crucial.
