FC Barcelona will wrap up its preseason with the Joan Gamper Trophy against Serie A side Como 1907 at the Estadi Johan Cruyff. This is the last opportunity for both teams before the start of their respective leagues.
Barcelona will look to get rhythm and confidence before La Liga kicks off, while Como, coached by former Barcelona midfield star Cesc Fàbregas, will see it as a chance to test themselves against top-level opposition.
Kickoff is at 9:00 pm CEST, which is 3:00 pm ET / 12:00 PT in the US. You can watch the match live and for free worldwide on the official FC Barcelona YouTube channel. In Catalonia, it will also be broadcast on TV3.
In the US and internationally, the FC Barcelona YouTube stream will be the main option, and there will be live updates on AS.com.

Since retiring in 2023, Fàbregas has taken Como back to Serie A for the first time since 2002 and also has back-to-back Serie A Coach of the Month awards. This first time facing Barcelona as a coach makes it a special return to a place where he enjoyed so much success.
The Joan Gamper Trophy is friendly, but it’s Barcelona’s last preseason game and a chance to iron out the wrinkles before the competitive season starts. For Como it’s a chance to test themselves against top-level opposition and get going before Serie A kicks off.
