The first El Clasico of the 2025/26 season will take place on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Barcelona fans have a special surprise to look forward to.

As reported before, the club will feature Ed Sheeran’s logo on the front of their shirt for the historic clash against Real Madrid.

This move is part of Barcelona’s ongoing collaboration with Spotify, adding a cultural twist to one of the world’s most famous football matches.

Ed Sheeran’s inclusion comes as part of the promotion for his new album, Play. Last season, the club experimented with musical collaborations for the second-leg Clasico, choosing Travis Scott, a decision that turned out to be a success.

First look at the possible shirt

A first look at the potential shirt design has already been leaked online, generating a wave of excitement among fans.

In the image shared by memorabilia1899.co, Sheeran’s logo can be seen on the 2025/26 home kit.

With production of promotional material already underway, an official announcement is expected soon.

Since the launch of the Spotify collaboration in 2022, Barcelona have transformed the Clasico into more than just a football match.

The event has become a stage for musical logos, featuring artists such as Drake, Rosalia, The Rolling Stones, Karol G, Coldplay, and Travis Scott.

By including Ed Sheeran this season, Spotify and Barcelona continue to break cultural boundaries, merging sports, music, and fashion into a single global spectacle.

Beyond the pitch, the initiative aims to engage fans worldwide, making the Clasico a cultural event as much as a sporting one.

With Ed Sheeran joining the lineup, this year’s El Clasico promises to be a memorable event, blending Barcelona’s sporting tradition with contemporary music culture in an unprecedented way.
