Valencia vs. Barcelona: How to watch, TV channel, live stream

Valencia will host Barcelona on Saturday as the La Liga season gets underway with a marquee clash at Mestalla.

Led by new head coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona is looking to improve on a trophy-less campaign in 2023-24 that included a second-place finish in the league.

It’s been a mostly quiet offseason for Flick’s side, whose one big signing, Spain star Dani Olmo, won’t be registered in time for this game.

Meanwhile, Ronald Araújo, Ansu Fati, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi are all out through injury.

Valencia finished ninth in La Liga last season, and added Dani Gomez, Rafa Mir and Stole Dimitrievski in the summer transfer window.

Barcelona has won two of its last six games against Valencia at Mestalla, with their most recent meeting ending in a 1-1 draw.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the game.
