Ajax host Burnley at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Sunday, July 26, 2026, as the final fixture in Ajax’s pre-season programme. The match caps off a busy summer schedule for the Amsterdam club, who have also faced AEK Larnaca, VfL Bochum and Olympiacos in the build-up to their 2026/27 campaign, and it comes ahead of Ajax’s UEFA Conference League tie against FK Vojvodina on July 30. On the team news front, Ajax will be without Kian Fitz-Jim and Vรญtezslav Jaros through injury.
For Burnley, it’s their first trip to the Netherlands in pre-season, with the Clarets still managerless following Scott Parker’s departure at the end of April as they returned for the start of pre-season training, so this is an important chance for interim staff to assess the squad under pressure. Burnley will be missing Josh Cullen and Louis Jordan Beyer, both through injury. Burnley’s competitive action gets underway with a Carabao Cup first-round tie across the weekend of August 7-9, with the Championship season following the next weekend, so expect Burnley’s returning group to treat this very much as a fitness and cohesion exercise ahead of a big season back in the second tier.
