La Liga has unveiled plans for a special Retro Jersey Week — a unique celebration where all clubs will wear historic kits in selected matches to honour the league’s rich history and connect with fans across generations. The initiative will take place during a designated round of fixtures in mid-February 2026, aiming to spotlight classic designs and iconic moments from Spanish football’s past.
The announcement has been warmly received by supporters, who are already speculating on which kits their clubs will bring back for the occasion.
Celebrating Heritage and Fan Culture
Each club will select a retro or throwback jersey from its past — whether it be a title-winning design, a shirt worn by club legends, or a fan-favourite classic that holds special meaning. Participating teams include powerhouses like Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, and Sevilla FC, as well as historic clubs such as Real Betis and Villarreal CF.
La Liga’s creative director highlighted the significance:
“This is a week to celebrate the culture and history that define Spanish football,” he said. “Retro Jersey Week connects the past with the present — giving today’s fans and future generations something truly special to remember.”
Clubs will promote the initiative with social media campaigns, fan voting for top throwback moments, and merchandise drops featuring limited-edition retro shirts.
Fan Engagement and Community Activities
In addition to matchday retro kits, La Liga clubs will host a variety of community and fan-centric events throughout Retro Jersey Week. Activities include:
- Fan meet-ups in historic kit colours
- Exhibits showcasing club memorabilia
- Throwback match highlights on stadium big screens
Supporters clubs have praised the announcement, calling it a “nostalgic gift” and a celebration of tradition in a modern game often dominated by constant change.
Merchandise pre-orders for the retro jerseys are expected to open soon, with fans eager to secure a piece of their club’s heritage. As the countdown to Retro Jersey Week begins, anticipation is building across Spain and beyond.
