Mallorca faces Barcelona: schedule, TV channel, and where to watch online

Barcelona begins its 2025-26 La Liga campaign this Saturday, August 16, with a match against Mallorca on the Balearic team's home field.

Hansi Flick 's team heads into their La Liga opener after thrashing Como (5-0) in the Joan Gamper Trophy, their final preseason match in which the Catalan club has been embroiled in several controversies. The registration of their new signings (Joan Garcia and Rashford) and Ter Stegen's now-resolved clash with the club have been some of the complicated situations Joan Laporta has had to deal with.

Barça begins a championship in which they are looking to repeat the title they won last season, so starting with three points against Mallorca is the main objective for this Saturday. The Blaugranas arrive at the match after winning all their preseason matches, in which, in addition to Como, they also won their Asian tour against Vissel Kobe (1-3), Seoul (3-7) and Daegu (0-5).

At the Vermillion club, where Jagoba Arrasate is currently the coach, a former Barça player has been signed this summer: Cantabrian Pablo Torre, who has arrived at Mallorca to strengthen their midfield. This isn't the only new addition to the squad, which also includes a striker like Mateo Joseph (Leeds).

The exciting Mallorca-Barcelona match, which takes place this Saturday at Son Moix Stadium and corresponds to the first matchday of the 2025-26 La Liga season, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The match will feature a magnificent crowd at the Balearic team's stadium.

The Mallorca-Barcelona match can be watched live on television via the Movistar Liga channel. Fans can also follow the minute-by-minute coverage of the La Liga Matchday 1 match on the ABC.es website, where readers can find the best match report after the match.
