FC Barcelona Current Squad Data — Free API 2026

Get the FC Barcelona Squad for Free

The Barça API exposes the full current squad of FC Barcelona through a single endpoint. You get structured JSON data with every registered player — name, position, shirt number, and nationality — updated for the 2025/26 season.

This is available completely free with no authentication required.

The Squad Endpoint

GET /api/squad

Example request:

curl https://api.fc-barcelona.app/api/squad

Example response:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "Marc-André ter Stegen",
      "number": 1,
      "position": "GK",
      "nationality": "Germany",
      "isCaptain": false
    },
    {
      "id": 19,
      "name": "Lamine Yamal",
      "number": 19,
      "position": "FW",
      "nationality": "Spain",
      "isCaptain": false
    },
    {
      "id": 10,
      "name": "Gavi",
      "number": 30,
      "position": "MF",
      "nationality": "Spain",
      "isCaptain": false
    }
  ]
}

Filter by Position

You can filter the squad by position using the position query parameter:

Value	Description
GK	Goalkeepers
DF	Defenders
MF	Midfielders
FW	Forwards

Example — get only forwards:

curl https://api.fc-barcelona.app/api/squad?position=FW

Player Data Fields

Each player object contains:

• id — Unique database ID
• name — Full player name
• number — Shirt number
• position — Position code (GK, DF, MF, FW)
• nationality — Country of nationality
• isCaptain — Whether the player is the team captain

Get Individual Players

To fetch a specific player, use the player endpoint with the player's database ID:

GET /api/player/:id

curl https://api.fc-barcelona.app/api/player/9

This returns the same fields but for a single player — useful when you already know the ID from a squad list call.
