Leaked: Real Madrid 26-27 Third Kit — Dark Pink Adidas

TL;DR

• Footy Headlines has published what it calls an official look at Real Madrid’s 2026-27 third shirt, and it is dark pink with ivory trim.
• The graphic is a tonal geometric print of interlocking circles and diamonds drawn in fine dotted lines, with a monochrome white crest and “RMCF” in a retro font under the back neckline.
• A launch on 12 August 2026 is reported. This would be Real Madrid’s third pink shirt, and the first to sit in the third slot rather than the away slot.

What has leaked about the Real Madrid 2026-27 third kit?

Adidas has gone pink again for Real Madrid, and this time it is the third shirt carrying it. Footy Headlines published a set of clean product images on 30 July 2026 and described them as an official look, with a launch reported for 12 August 2026. Neither Real Madrid nor Adidas has announced the kit, so every detail below is reported rather than confirmed.

A second signal: on 29 July, a day before those pictures appeared, Footy Headlines reported that the shirt had already been seen for sale, without naming a retailer or a price. Early sightings of this kind usually precede the official date by a week or two.

What does the Real Madrid 2026-27 third kit look like?

The base colour is a dark pink, a stronger shade than the 2020-21 pink Real Madrid last wore. Ivory does the detailing work: a clean V-neck collar, thick sleeve cuffs, and the Three Stripes running down over the shoulders.

The pattern is tonal, built from interlocking circular and diamond shapes drawn in fine dotted lines. Reports describe the motif as Latin American in influence, with the shapes echoing elements of the club crest. Because it sits at the same value as the base colour, the shirt reads close to plain from a distance and detailed up close.

The crest is applied as a single-colour white version. On the back, below the neckline, sits “RMCF” in a stylised white retro typeface. Pink shorts with ivory detailing and pink socks with white RMCF lettering complete the set. No sponsor detail and no price have been reported.

How does it compare to Real Madrid’s earlier pink shirts?

Pink is not new at the Bernabéu, but where it lands is. Real Madrid have worn pink twice before, in 2014-15 and in 2020-21, and both were away shirts. This would be their third pink shirt overall and the first to arrive as a third kit.

The colour is also no longer an isolated experiment in the range. The 2026-27 home shirt brought pink trim back for the first time since 2020, so pink now runs through two shirts in the same season instead of appearing once and disappearing. That is a range decision, and it suggests Adidas is treating the colour as part of the club’s palette.

Our Real Madrid 2026-27 kit guide covers the home, away and third designs side by side, and the leaked away kit is the green outlier in the set. Worth separating from this story: the reported 2027 Yohji Yamamoto remake is a different shirt on a different timeline, not an alternative version of this one. Football Kit Archive holds the full run of Real Madrid shirts if you want to see the two earlier pink kits.

When can you buy the Real Madrid 2026-27 third shirt?

The reported launch date is 12 August 2026. Given the shirt has already been seen for sale once, listings may appear in the days before that.

We add new kits to the catalogue once they are in production rather than while they are still leaks, which is why you will not find this exact shirt listed yet. In the meantime you can browse the current range of Real Madrid jerseys, including the 2026-27 home shirt. If you are unsure which slot you actually want, our explainer on the difference between home, away and third kits sets out how clubs use each one.
