Espanyol fixtures, results and La Liga standings
Espanyol’s league calendar includes home and away meetings with clubs across Spain, as well as the Barcelona derby against FC Barcelona. Copa del Rey fixtures are separate knockout matches, so cup results do not count towards the La Liga table.

Espanyol squad, coach and 2026/27 transfers
Espanyol’s first-team group for 2026/27 includes goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović, defender Omar El Hilali, midfielder Edu Expósito and forward Roberto Fernández. These players represent different areas of the squad; the official club team page is the appropriate reference for the full registered group and individual player information.
Manolo González took charge of the first team in March 2024 after coaching Espanyol B. The club confirmed in May 2026 that he would remain in charge for 2026/27, with his contract running to 30 June 2027.
Two confirmed 2026/27 additions are winger Bryan Zaragoza, who arrived on loan from Bayern Munich, and right-back Andoni Gorosabel, signed on loan from Athletic Club with an option to buy. Gorosabel joined after Rubén Sánchez’s departure. These are dated transfer facts, not a claim that the squad will remain unchanged throughout the season.
Espanyol competitions, trophies and European history
Espanyol’s football history spans La Liga, Segunda División, the Copa del Rey and European competition. The men’s first team have won the Spanish cup in 1929, 1940, 2000 and 2006. They were also UEFA Cup runners-up in 1988 and 2007.
Those European finals form part of the club’s history; they do not imply qualification for any UEFA competition in 2026/27. The club also has separate women’s, reserve and youth teams, whose fixtures and competitions should not be confused with the men’s first-team schedule.
RCDE Stadium and the Barcelona derby
RCDE Stadium opened in August 2009 in the Cornellà de Llobregat and El Prat de Llobregat area, replacing Espanyol’s period at the Olympic Stadium. The opening match was against Liverpool, and the club’s blue-and-white identity is visible throughout the ground.
Espanyol’s meetings with FC Barcelona are a city rivalry, with each side representing a different football tradition in Barcelona. The derby is one fixture within the league calendar rather than a measure of Espanyol’s entire season.
