La Liga 2026 Retro Collection: La Liga unveiled a massive collection of retro kits for the 'La Liga Retro Matchweek,' showcasing classic designs from participating clubs, excluding some teams like Real Madrid.
Retro Matchday Details: 38 clubs will wear special kits inspired by iconic designs from their past during Matchday 31 of La Liga and Matchday 35 of La Liga Hypermotion, with some exceptions due to preparation issues or non-participation.
Inspiration and Context: The retro kit initiative is part of La Liga's campaign to celebrate club heritage and follows similar ideas, such as a suggestion from the CONMEBOL president to use retro kits in the 2030 World Cup.

Update - Mar 21, 2026: You might have already spotted it in the previous images, but we want to take a closer look. The La Liga 2026 retro kits come with the old La Liga LFP sleeve badge, which is still a favorite of people.

Update - Mar 20, 2026: We also get a look at the special Macron La Liga 2026 retro referee kit, which draws clear inspiration from the Adidas 1994 World Cup referee shirt.

Update - Mar 20, 2026: Yesterday, the clubs participating in the highly anticipated "La Liga Retro Matchweek" officially unveiled their special retro kits. In a groundbreaking move that proves football shirt culture has truly transcended the pitch, the massive collection was showcased on the runway at Madrid Fashion Week (MBFWMadrid).

La Liga 2026 Retro Collection

This image shows the massive collection of retro kits released for the La Liga Retro Matchweek.

The La Liga 2026 Retro kits introduce a stunning array of classic, traditional aesthetics (at least for most teams, some kits are not that classic).

From classic fold-over collars to vintage crests, retro sponsor logos, and uncluttered striping, the collection perfectly pays homage to the rich history of Spanish football across both the top flight and the second division. Seeing so many clubs unified by a single, nostalgic theme creates an incredibly cohesive and visually pleasing lineup.

Fans will not have to wait long to see these vintage masterpieces in action. The entire collection will make its official on-pitch debut between April 10 and 13. The kits will be worn specifically during Matchday 31 of La Liga and Matchday 35 of La Liga Hypermotion (the Spanish second division).

La Liga to Have Retro Matchday With Historic Kits - 4 Teams Won't Wear Retro Kits (Including Barcelona and Real Madrid)

A total of 38 clubs will wear special kits inspired by iconic designs from their past. The initiative aims to celebrate club heritage by bringing historic looks back onto the pitch, with modern reinterpretations of classic jerseys.

However, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe CF will not wear classic kits, due to "preparation issues", but they will still take part in the matchday through other activations. Real Madrid CF will not participate in the initiative at all.

FC Barcelona might wear their 2024-25 home kit, but it is not confirmed yet.

La Liga says the initiative is part of its “42 Legacies, 42 Ways of Winning” campaign, designed to celebrate how club identities and fan traditions are passed down through generations.
