Barcelona will restart in 2022/23 after a harrowing 2021/22 season that began with the departure of the club's talisman Lionel Messi.

The Spanish giants haven't gone on a summer tour since 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and were forced to stay much closer to home during the previous two summers. However, that will change in 2022 as more and more things around the world return to normal.

The upcoming pre-season will put Barcelona in a better position to challenge again, with solid fixtures serving as an early indicator of where Xavi will take the team.

Now, Xavi will conduct his first pre-season under the command of the Catalan giants after being appointed only in November last year, with several new faces set to join the squad.

While some are away on international duty, the rest of the players have already begun their summer break. All the information you need on Barcelona's upcoming pre-season is below.

Where is Barcelona going for the 2022/23 pre-season?

Barcelona visited the United States for their last pre-season tour in 2019 and will return in 2022.
In addition to training and match practice for the players, expanding the club's reach in North America is crucial.

This squad will play in Miami and New York in July, as well as play the Joan Gamper Trophy, though the opponent has yet to be selected.
