Is Camp Nou open in 2026?
Yes, partially: FC Barcelona have played home matches at the rebuilt Spotify Camp Nou since November 2025, but in June 2026 the stadium runs at reduced capacity, the visitor tour is a modified museum-based experience, and the final construction phases continue into 2027.
Status: June 2026
Matches are back at the Spotify Camp Nou, licensed for 62,652 spectators since March 2026, while the third tier and the roof are still being built. The Barça museum and a modified "Immersive Tour" are open daily; the classic pitch-and-tunnel walk is not part of it during the works. Full completion is currently expected in 2027.
Is the tour worth it during the works?
Yes, with the right expectations. The current visit is built around the museum, an immersive screening room and a viewpoint over the construction site, not the dressing rooms and players' tunnel of the old tour. That viewpoint is the one thing you can only see now: once the stadium is finished, the mid-rebuild panorama disappears. If your heart is set on the classic walk down to the pitch, wait for full completion; if you want Barça history plus a look at one of Europe's biggest stadium projects, go now.

What you can actually visit now
The visitor offer in mid 2026 is the Barça Immersive Tour: the renovated FC Barcelona museum with its trophy and history rooms, a 360 degree screening room, and a viewing point over the construction works. It is a real visit, not a stopgap; the museum alone is one of the most visited in the city. What you do not get during the works is the old route through the dressing rooms, the players' tunnel and the pitch-side walk. The exact route changes as construction phases open and close, so check what is included on the day you book rather than relying on an older review. If something on this page no longer matches what the club is selling, trust the club.
Match days: what to expect
FC Barcelona returned home on 22 November 2025 after more than two seasons at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Montjuïc. Since March 2026 the stadium has been licensed for 62,652 spectators, up from about 45,000 in the first phase, which still leaves it well short of the roughly 105,000 planned for completion. Practical consequences: tickets are scarcer than the stadium's reputation suggests, because fewer seats chase the same global demand. Buy from FC Barcelona's official channel, expect security and access routes to shift around the works, and allow extra time on the way in. One caveat for trips planned far ahead: the roof installation may require the stadium to empty again for some months, and a temporary return to Montjuïc in 2027 has been discussed but not confirmed. If your trip hinges on a match in 2027, wait for the club to confirm the venue before booking flights.
Tour now, or wait until completion?
The honest trade-off. Go now if you care about the club's history, want the museum, and find a half-built 105,000 seat bowl interesting in its own right; the construction viewpoint is a photograph nobody will be able to take after 2027. A timed tour ticket avoids the queue, and slots get busy around fixtures. Wait if the point of your visit is the finished article: the full bowl, the roof, the pitch-side moment. That version of the tour does not exist yet, and paying now and again after completion only makes sense for committed fans. With kids, the current format actually works well; the museum and the immersive room hold their attention better than a long walk, as we explain in our family guide.
Getting there
The stadium sits in the Les Corts district, west of the centre. Metro L3 (Les Corts or Palau Reial) and L5 (Collblanc) serve the area, all about a 10 minute walk from the gates. On match days the metro is the only sensible option; the streets around the works are congested and parking is scarce even by Barcelona standards. For the tour on a non-match day, any of the three stops works; follow the crowds and the cranes.

Common questions
Is Camp Nou open in 2026?
Partially. FC Barcelona have played there again since 22 November 2025, with capacity licensed at 62,652 since March 2026, while the third tier and roof are still under construction. The museum and a modified tour are open.
Can you watch a match at Camp Nou now?
Yes. Home matches are played at the Spotify Camp Nou at reduced capacity. Buy from the official FC Barcelona channel, and note that fewer seats than usual are on sale, so big fixtures sell out fast.
Is the Camp Nou tour worth it during construction?
Yes, if you take it for what it is: the Barça museum, an immersive screening room and a viewpoint over the works. The pitch-and-tunnel walk of the classic tour is not included until the rebuild finishes.
When will Camp Nou be finished?
The club currently targets 2027 for full completion, including the roof and a capacity of roughly 105,000. The timeline has slipped before, so treat any date as provisional.
Where did FC Barcelona play during the works?
At the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Montjuïc, from 2023 until the return to Camp Nou in November 2025. A short temporary return during the roof installation has been discussed for 2027 but is not confirmed.
