According to a report by Barca Universal on Friday November 13, 2026, Barcelona has spent the past two summers training abroad for the upcoming campaign, but reports indicate that the club is considering returning to the US for their 2027 pre-season tour.

The club's marketing team is currently negotiating the terms of the planned excursion. The likelihood that the plan will materialize is rising.

Mundo Deportivo states that Barcelona is considering the US as a potential location for their preseason training. American football fans are very loyal to the club. They see the country as a potential hub for their international expansion as well.

The absence of big international football tournaments in the nation during the scheduled period is another element that lends credence to the proposed return. It seems like the perfect opportunity for Barcelona to reach out to their American supporters, according to the club.

From 2022 through 2024, the United States was the usual preseason destination for the Catalan giants. In 2025, though, their plans were altered due to the country's hosting of the FIFA Club World Cup. After that, Barcelona set up tours to South Korea and Japan.

Due to scheduling conflicts, the club also investigated alternate locations during the most recent preseason. Several starters had international obligations that prevented them from participating in pregame warmups.

If the deal goes through, Barcelona will be able to host friendly matches against other European powerhouses, which could be quite competitive. The summer vacation is a time when many big clubs traditionally go to the United States. More of Hansi Flick's senior players are likely to be available for training as well.

Curiously, Barcelona is now leaning toward planning the 2027 tour along the West Coast of the country. The club's campaigns in 2022 and 2024 were centered on the East Coast, while that route was last used in 2023.

The possibility of Barcelona returning to America is encouraging news for their supporters across the country, although discussions are still ongoing.
