Barcelona welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou on Sunday with a six-point lead at the top of LaLiga and the chance to make a major early statement in the title race.

The meeting will be the 265th Clasico and is scheduled for 20:00 GMT on 25 October 2026, as part of the 10th matchday of the Spanish top flight.

The game will be played at Camp Nou in Barcelona. It will be shown on Disney and DAZN in France; Proximus Pickx and Play Sports 1 / Play Sports in Belgium; Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Ultra HD in the UK and Ireland; Sky Sport Premier League, Sky Go and WOW in Germany and Austria; DAZN in Spain and Italy; Viaplay Netherlands in the Netherlands; Canal+ and Canal+ Extra 1 in Poland; DAZN Portugal in Portugal; SuperSport in sub-Saharan Africa; and beIN Sports in the Maghreb and Middle East.

Barcelona have the stronger recent record in this fixture, winning six of their past seven official meetings with Real Madrid and losing only once. Their most recent victory came at home, when a 2-0 win helped secure their previous domestic title.

The last 13 league meetings have produced no draws, with Barcelona winning five and Real Madrid eight.

Recent meetings include Barcelona’s 2-0 LaLiga victory on 10 May 2026, their 3-2 Supercopa de Espana win on 11 January 2026, Real Madrid’s 2-1 league success on 26 October 2025, Barcelona’s 4-3 win in LaLiga on 11 May 2025, and a 3-2 Barcelona victory after extra time in the Copa del Rey on 26 April 2025.

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona have won all nine of their league matches so far and can become the first side to begin the season with 10 consecutive victories. Their perfect domestic start was interrupted by a European defeat by PSG this week, but they return to home ground with an impressive record.

Barcelona have won their past 23 league matches at Camp Nou. They have also scored at least twice in every home game this season, underlining their attacking form.

Real Madrid arrive after a 4-1 Champions League win against Leipzig in midweek and will be aiming to revive their league campaign. Jose Mourinho will take charge of the club in a Clasico for the first time since March 2013.

Real Madrid have scored four goals in each of their past three competitive matches, suggesting their attacking threat is growing under Mourinho. However, Barcelona’s home form and the visitors’ occasional defensive weaknesses away from home point to an advantage for the hosts.

The match is expected to be closely contested, with the importance of the league positions likely to produce an open game. The prediction is for a 3-1 Barcelona win.

The listed betting odds are 1.62 for Barcelona, 5.75 for a draw and 3.90 for Real Madrid.
