FC Barcelona will begin the 2027-28 season at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys and may not return to Camp Nou until January 2028.
FC Barcelona will extend its stay at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Montjuic into the 2027-28 season, according to a report from ESPN. The club is aiming to finish redevelopment work at Camp Nou and install a new roof.
The report indicates Barcelona may play the entire first half of the season away from its traditional home, with a return to Camp Nou not scheduled until January 2028.
When the club does move back, capacity at Camp Nou is expected to be around 95,000, eventually reaching 105,000 once all redevelopment work is complete.
Barcelona will hope the timeline holds, as earlier delays in the project already forced the team to spend more time at Montjuic than originally planned.
Camp Nou has been confirmed as the host venue for the 2029 Champions League final, and club president Joan Laporta has also expressed hope that the stadium could stage the 2030 World Cup final.
