The 2025 Premier League Summer Series will take place across three major American cities, each hosting doubleheaders featuring these historic clubs:

• July 26 – MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
  • Everton vs. Bournemouth
  • Manchester United vs. West Ham United
• July 30 – Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois
  • West Ham United vs. Everton
  • Manchester United vs. Bournemouth
• August 3 – Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia
  • Bournemouth vs. West Ham United
  • Manchester United vs. Everton

These venues, including MetLife Stadium—the site of the 2026 World Cup Final—are set to provide a world-class atmosphere for Premier League fans across the U.S.

A growing connection between the Premier League and the U.S.

The presence of English clubs in the U.S. continues to strengthen, with three of the participating teams having American ownership. Everton recently transitioned to ownership under The Friedkin Group, while Manchester United remains under the Glazer family’s control. Bournemouth is owned by William Foley, who also owns the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights.

Adding to the American influence, U.S. international midfielder Tyler Adams is currently playing his first season with Bournemouth, contributing three assists in 17 games.

Everton’s James Tarkowski expressed excitement about the tour, stating, “Being a part of this series is super exciting for us as players and the team. We know there are plenty of fans out there when we get there in the summer.”

What to Expect from the Premier League Summer Series

The 2023 edition of the Summer Series featured six teams—Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Fulham, and Newcastle United—playing nine matches across five different venues. Chelsea emerged as the standout team, winning the series with two victories and a draw.

According to NBC analyst Tim Howard, last year’s tournament provided valuable insights for the season ahead:
“The manager has very little time to get everybody on the same page, implement ideas, lay the groundwork from a fitness, tactical, and technical standpoint. All that work is going to be used throughout the season.”

The 2025 Summer Series promises high-intensity preseason action, with all six matches streaming live on Peacock and two airing on NBC. For Premier League fans in the U.S., this is a golden opportunity to witness top-tier English football up close before the new season kicks off.
