Leaked: Atlético Madrid 26-27 Away Kit — Black Returns With a Volt Twist

TL;DR

• Atlético Madrid’s 26-27 Nike away kit goes back to black for the first time since 2022-23, with neon Volt green doing the contrast work.
• A subtle tonal triangle pattern runs across the front, with Volt cuffs, side panels, crest and Riyadh Air sponsor type.
• The expected release window is May 2026, lining up with Nike’s standard pre-season launch calendar.

The Leak

Atleti’s away shirt for next season has appeared online, and it marks a decisive break from the soft pastel and pinky-grey routes Nike have used in recent away launches. The new build is unapologetically dark, with neon Volt punching out every logo and trim line on the front of the shirt.

The first imagery — published by leak watchers and aggregated through Footy Headlines — is consistent with sample runs already spotted in the supply chain. It is the first all-black Atlético away top in three seasons; the previous one landed in 2022-23.

Design Breakdown

The base is a flat black with a tonal print of repeating triangles forming a soft zig-zag across the chest and waist. The print is close enough in tone that it disappears under stadium lighting and only reveals itself at close range — a trick Nike have leaned on before with their darker third kits.

The collar is a simple black ribbed crew, with no contrast taping. Volt green takes over from there: thin cuff trims on the sleeves, vertical side panels running from the underarm to the hem, and the entire branding suite — Nike Swoosh, Atlético crest and Riyadh Air sponsor wordmark — finished in the same neon shade. The result is closer to a Nike training top than a typical Atleti away, which will divide opinion among supporters who prefer the heritage red-and-white treatment.

Shorts and socks have not been pictured in the leaked frame, though black bottoms with Volt accents are the most likely pairing.

How It Compares

Last season’s away effort was a lighter, ice-blue piece with traditional crest colours intact. This 26-27 version pulls in the opposite direction: less club identity, more Nike performance-template energy. It will be polarising, but historically Atlético’s bolder away launches — including the lime-and-grey of 2017-18 and the matt-black 2022-23 — sold strongly internationally.

Stack the new shirt next to the broader 26-27 Nike away catalogue and a pattern emerges. Several elite-tier Nike clubs are getting tonal-print, single-base aways with a high-contrast accent colour. Atleti’s Volt-on-black is among the more aggressive examples.

When Can You Buy It?
