According to Sport, Barca will not wait until the end of the season to put the new shirt on sale, because of the coronavirus delay, and will have it ready to buy by July 3.

The players will then wear it for the first time in their penultimate home game of the season in La Liga against their local rivals.

It’s not clear yet if UEFA will allow them to wear the new shirt in the Champions League or if the club will have to stick to this season’s shirt.
