After Chelsea & Inter, Juventus announces new summer friendly

Before heading to the Far East, Juventus will take on FC Basel in what should be their first real pre-season test.

This is already shaping up to be a busy summer for the Serie A giants, not only on the transfer market, but also on the pitch.

In recent weeks, the Bianconeri announced upcoming friendlies in the Far East, beginning with Chelsea in Hong Kong, followed by back-to-back games against fellow Italian clubs, Inter and Palermo.

Juventus will place Basel in a friendly on July 18

Since the Asian/Oceanian tour will begin in early August, Juventus found room for a quick trip to Switzerland.

The club’s official website confirmed that Luciano Spalletti’s men will play Basel in a friendly hosted by the Swiss club on July 18.

“The Juventus Men’s First Team’s pre-season schedule has another international date being added! Before kicking off the 2026 Summer Tour powered by Jeep between Hong Kong, China, and Perth, Australia, the Bianconeri will also stop off in Switzerland for a friendly match,” reads the official note.

“Basel will be the opponents in a game scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 15:30 CEST. This will mark the first time the two teams have faced off at St. Jakob-Park since last meeting in the Champions League 23 years ago in March 2003.”
