Watching FC Barcelona live is one of the highlights of any trip to Barcelona. Here is how to get official tickets, how to reach the Spotify Camp Nou by train from Calella, what the stadium works mean for your visit and why an Espanyol game in Cornellà is a great alternative.
Spotify Camp Nou in 2026 and 2027
Barça returned to their home ground in November 2025, but the redevelopment is still under way. Key facts:
- Current capacity: around 62,600 seats for much of the 2026-27 season, while the third tier is completed. Once finished, it will be the largest stadium in Europe.
- The roof: the club plans to install it from summer 2027. According to the Spanish press, Barça has told LaLiga it will play the first months of the 2027-28 season at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Montjuïc.
- Tip: before you buy, check on the club’s official website which stadium your match is being played at.
How to buy FC Barcelona tickets
- Official channels only: buy on the official FC Barcelona website or app and avoid unofficial resellers. Tickets are digital and are sent to your phone between 24 and 3 hours before kick-off.
- When to buy: LaLiga kick-off times are confirmed only a few weeks ahead. If a match looks sold out, keep checking: new seats are released as club members free up their season seats.
- Easier games: league matches against mid-table sides and cup ties usually have better availability and prices than El Clásico or the Champions League.
Getting to the stadium from Calella
- R1 train from Calella station to Barcelona-Sants (just over an hour, no changes).
- Metro from Sants Estació: L5 to Badal or Collblanc, or L3 to Les Corts or Palau Reial. You can also walk it in about 25 minutes.
- If the match is on Montjuïc: metro L1 or L3 to Espanya, then walk up using the outdoor escalators.
Gates open 90 minutes before kick-off and there is no left-luggage service, so travel light. For evening games, check the time of the last R1 train back to Calella before you go; if you will miss it, a taxi or ride-hailing car is the fallback.
The stadium tour and Barça Museum
No match during your stay? Visit the museum instead. The Barça Immersive Tour includes the museum with an audio guide and a viewpoint over the new stadium works, from €28 on the official website (price checked in November 2026). There are fuller options too, such as the Spotify Camp Nou Experience with a panoramic view of the stadium. Check the official timetable, as opening hours change on match days.
Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium in Cornellà
Barcelona’s other top-flight club plays at the RCDE Stadium in Cornellà de Llobregat, which holds around 40,500 fans. Tickets are usually easier to get and cheaper, and are sold on the official RCD Espanyol website.
The best part if you are staying in Calella: the R1 train runs direct to Cornellà, with no changes. From the station it is about a 15-minute walk to the stadium. FGC trains (Cornellà Riera station, 5 minutes away) and the tram also serve the ground.
