Barcelona 2023 USA pre-season tour: Where is Barça playing this summer in the US?

Barcelona will be back stateside this summer for their pre-season tour, the club has confirmed.

On Friday it was announced that BARÇA ON TOUR: US 2023 will see the first team squad play four games against European teams in the United States. For the third time, Barcelona will face El Clásico rivals Real Madrid on the other side of the Atlantic.

They will face other tough opponents in the form of Arsenal, AC Milan and Juventus.

This year’s visit will be the 14th time that the club has toured the States, with the first occasion coming in 1937. In recent years US trips have become increasingly popular amongst the top European sides and Barça toured there in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022.

Here’s the full list of Barcelona’s US tour fixtures…

When is Barcelona vs Juventus?

The tour will take Xavi Hernandez’ side to the West Coast, where they will face Italian giants Juventus on 22 July. For the third time in its history, Barcelona will play at the Levis Stadium, Santa Clara in San Francisco.

Levis Stadium is usually the home of NFL side San Francisco 49ers and the home crowd is sure to make themselves heard in the 68,000-capacity stadium.
