Barcelona and Real Madrid will face each other in Miami as part of the International Champions Cup in July – marking the first time El Clasico will take place in the United States.
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, home of the NFL team the Miami Dolphins, will host the LaLiga rivals on July 29.
The only previous Barca-Madrid meeting outside Spain came in 1982, with Los Blancos winning 1-0 in Venezuela thanks to a goal from Vicente del Bosque.
Barcelona were among a number of leading clubs to take part in the 2016 ICC, with games in the pre-season tournament played at 19 venues across the United States, Europe, Australia and China.
