Barça won't return to the stadium until the Joan Gamper Trophy in mid-August, giving Limak a long window without matches to continue work.
The third level is already built, with the concrete in place. Welding work is underway now, and the next steps are waterproofing and installing the seats.
The club has asked the city council to open the third tier of Spotify Camp Nou over three phases. The city council must review the request with the club's intention to be able to play with a full stadium next season.
The 3rd tier (third level) at Camp Nou is scheduled to open in October 2026. This will allow the stadium to reach a higher capacity over three phases next season.
- 1st phase (Lateral side) scheduled for around October 2026 with the VIP rings between the second and third tiers are also part of that phase. Roughly 10k seats added for 72k
- 2nd phase (Tribuna side) by late 2026 or early 2027 will see capacity reach 80k
- 3rd phase (Gol Sud & Nord) by April/May 2027 for full 105 capacity
The work will also continue in other areas of Espai Barça, including the new museum and the new Camp Nou store.
The club believes it's possible to install the roof in 4 months, at the end of next season (summer 2027).
If the deadlines aren't met, they are considering two options. If it's for just a few matches, play at Johan Cruyff Stadium with 10,000 spectators or return to Montjuïc if it takes longer
Skywalk planned for summer 2028. Pretty solid plan, looking forward to seeing that 3rd tier filling up over the course of next season - I will aim for Q1/Q2 of 2027 to attend a match. I just hope the pricing normalizes
