"La Liga has officially scheduled its first-ever Retro Matchday between April 10 and April 13, 2026, which will take place during Matchday 31 of the competition. For that round of fixtures, teams across the league will wear kits inspired by famous designs from their past. Some clubs will honour shirts worn during title-winning campaigns, while others may revive designs associated with promotions, European adventures or eras defined by legendary players."
"Furthermore, the initiative also carries a commercial opportunity, as Retro shirts have proven to be extremely popular among fans, and clubs are expected to release these designs for sale after the matchday."
"Barcelona will be joined by Rayo Vallecano and Getafe among the teams that will not wear the special shirts due to logistical reasons. However, those clubs remain part of the overall promotional campaign organised by La Liga."

Barcelona, Rayo Vallecano, and Getafe will not participate this season due to logistical reasons, though they remain part of the promotional campaign. Real Madrid has opted out entirely. Barcelona views this as temporary and plans to introduce a retro shirt during the 2026/27 season.
