According to "TA", Barcelona faces the problem of home choice due to the delay in the renovation of the Camp Nou Stadium.

The plan originally scheduled to be reopened in mid-September may not be realized due to the delay in renovation of Camp Nou Stadium. Currently, Barcelona has reached an agreement with La Liga to allow Barcelona to play away in the first three games at the beginning of the season. However, whether the match originally scheduled to be against Valencia on September 14 will be held in the new Camp Nou remains doubtful.

In addition, Montwhic Stadium will hold a Post Malone concert on September 12, so it cannot be used for the match against Valencia and the first leg of the Champions League group stage from September 16 to 18. Barcelona is evaluating alternatives to the game against Valencia, but the Cruyff stadium, which can accommodate 7,000 people, does not meet La Liga standards. Meanwhile, Barcelona has not yet applied to the city for permission to play in the new Camp Nou.

Barcelona's next home game is the La Liga against Getafe from September 20 to 21, and the second round of the Champions League group stage will be held on September 30 and October 1. In theory, Montwhich Stadium can be used for these competitions, and there are no other concert schedules until May 2026. Barcelona club and the city government have communicated with the possibility of being held at the venue in the group stage of the Champions League. The UEFA Champions League group stage draw will be held Thursday afternoon and the full schedule is expected to be confirmed on Saturday. If Barcelona expresses to UEFA that they want to play home games at the new Camp Nou, UEFA will conduct an official inspection of the stadium to ensure it meets all necessary safety and technical standards.

According to Article 25.08 of UEFA, clubs must in principle play all matches on the same stadium starting from the group stage. This leaves room for adjustment for UEFA, but any changes are most likely to happen between the group stage and the knockout stage, after February 2026. The refurbished new Camp Nou will eventually accommodate 105,000 spectators, but it is expected to reopen at a capacity of about 27,000 before the project is completed, with a completion date of at least two years.
