Barcelona’s next preseason test takes the defending Spanish champions to Italy, where they will face off with Udinese in the inaugural Friuli Venezia Giulia Cup.

The competition is a unique triangular format, which will see Barcelona, Udinese and Nottingham Forest all play one another in three 45-minute matches back-to-back. Hansi Flick’s men first take on Forest before they must turn their attention to the Serie A hosts.

Barcelona, still without many of their biggest stars, only have one preseason friendly under their belts, and it was a disappointing 2–2 draw with Birmingham City that ultimately ended in a 3–2 penalty shootout defeat.

Many young stars will be eager to better prove themselves this time around, as will new signing Karim Adeyemi, who underwhelmed in his debut last time out. Udinese will hope to play spoiler, but they have yet to win a match this summer.

Here’s how to watch the upcoming friendly.

  • Location: Udine, Italy
  • Stadium: Bluenergy Stadium
  • Date: Saturday, Aug. 8
  • Kick-off Time: 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. BST
