FC Barcelona will face Racing Santander at Spotify Camp Nou on September 16 in their matchweek 6 fixture of the LaLiga 2026-27 season, with the Blaugrana having won each of their opening five league matches and sitting top of the table.

Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick, began the season by defending their title with commanding performances and will seek to maintain momentum at home against newly promoted Racing Santander; José Alberto López’s side arrive after a 2-1 victory against Deportivo Alaves and have recorded two wins in the current LaLiga campaign.

Nineteen-year-old Lamine Yamal is central to Barcelona’s attacking threat after scoring a sensational brace and netting six goals in his last five LaLiga appearances; Barcelona will be without Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji due to injury, while Jesse Bisiwu is not yet confirmed for selection because of fitness concerns.

Racing Santander’s attack will again look to Yassir Zabiri, who is 21 and produced a brace to steer Racing to a 2-1 win against Aalborg; the visitors will be missing Simon Eriksson and Andres Martin through injury and will also be without Andre Almeida, who is suspended.

Probable lineups listed in the source are: Barcelona – Joan Garcia (GK); Eric Garcia, Cubarsi, Martin, Cancelo; Olmo, Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Gordon. Racing Santander – Agurrezabala (GK); Mantilla, Ramon, Belocian, Salinas; Martin, Prati; Garcia, Canales, Vincente; Zaibari.

The preview predicts Barcelona to capitalize on current form and home advantage, forecasting a 4-1 victory for the hosts; broadcasters for the match are Spain: Movistar, DAZN and Teledeporte, USA: ESPN, ESPN+, ESPN Deportes, and viewers in India can use FanCode.

Barcelona will attempt to record a sixth consecutive LaLiga win to continue their title defence, while Racing Santander will aim to collect points away from home in matchweek 6.
