Barcelona Seek Eighth Win at Sevilla, Maintain Perfect Season Start

Barcelona travels to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium on Saturday, September 19, 2026, for a LaLiga matchday 7 fixture against Sevilla, aiming to extend its unbeaten campaign across all competitions. The Spanish champions lead the standings with 18 points from six league wins and 33 goals in seven official matches. Barcelona has recorded seven consecutive victories this season, including a 7-2 victory over Racing Santander on September 16 and a 5-1 Champions League win over Feyenoord, and victory would mark their eighth straight win.

Barcelona's attacking prowess has defined their season, with Raphinha contributing 11 goals and 3 assists, and Lamine Yamal adding 8 goals and 4 assists across competitions. Manager Hansi Flick faces a goalkeeper selection decision after Joan García sustained right knee discomfort during the Racing match, choosing between Wojciech Szczesny and Dominik Livakovic. The squad also manages absences from Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji due to knee injuries, though Pau Cubarsí, Xavi Espart, Fermín López, and Anthony Gordon are available for selection.

Sevilla, positioned fifth with 13 points, has recovered recent form with victories over Valencia and Deportivo de A Coruña following earlier losses to Atlético Madrid and a draw with Espanyol. The home side will be without injured players Rubén Vargas and Arouna Sangante. Manager Luis García Plaza's team has won three of its last five LaLiga matches and seeks to capitalize on home support at the iconic Pizjuán venue. Head-to-head records show Barcelona won 5-2 in their March 2026 meeting, though Sevilla defeated Barcelona 4-1 at home in October 2025.

The match kicks off at 9:00 p.m. CET on Saturday, with international broadcast coverage including ESPN (USA), TSN and RDS (Canada), Movistar and DAZN (Spain), and multiple regional broadcasters across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Barcelona's official digital platforms provide minute-by-minute coverage in multiple languages via their website, app, YouTube channel, and social media accounts.
