The official match ball for the 2026-27 La Liga season was officially released.
PUMA today released the official match ball for the 2026-27 La Liga season: STELLAR NITRO™ ULTIMATE. This is the brand's most innovative and technologically advanced football created to date for one of the most competitive and watched events in world football.
Every season, La Liga continues to raise the level of play with faster, more intense matches. STELLAR NITRO™ is designed to meet this continuous evolution: it is not only to adapt to the demands of today's football, but also to enhance performance with every touch.
Its core NITROFOAM™ is PUMA's innovative nitrogen-infused foam structure, which releases more energy upon impact, allowing for unprecedented speed and responsiveness in passing, controlling, and shooting. The ball is also the official match ball for the Premier League and Serie A, becoming the core trusted match ball for the world's top three football leagues.
The engineering design supporting its excellent responsive performance is reflected in every detail. The precise 4+4 panel structure achieves a balance between airflow and drag, providing a more accurate and true flight path every time a player touches the ball; at the same time, the textured rough outer surface helps the football cut through the air better, allowing it to maintain speed and stability throughout its flight.
In terms of visual design, STELLAR NITRO™ combines performance with personality, presenting a modern and refined aesthetic. On a clean white base, small patterns in shades of pink, turquoise, and purple create a fresh visual experience; while a dark, black-dominated design creates a sense of layering, making the colors more vivid and subtly highlighted in motion. The overall design makes it highly recognizable on the field.
