FC Barcelona to Launch 26-27 Home Kit in Early July
FC Barcelona and Nike have officially agreed to schedule the launch of their 2026-2027 home kit for early July. According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the club made this strategic decision because the current 25-26 jerseys are still generating massive sales figures following a highly successful campaign.
Following the home release, the highly anticipated away kit is scheduled to launch in late July, just in time to debut during the squad's pre-season tour. This secondary strip will introduce a striking black and purple colorway and is confirmed to be released under Nike's special Kobe Bryant sub-label. The club's 26-27 wardrobe will then be completed in the second half of August with the official launch of a fresh turquoise green third kit.
While fans wait for the new collection, current shirt sales continue to soar at the official stadium store, with Lamine Yamal comfortably topping the charts ahead of departed club legend Robert Lewandowski.
