The Premier League has today announced the Premier League Summer Series is returning to the United States in 2025, with the second edition of the pre-season tournament bringing world-class soccer and a Premier League matchday experience to three iconic locations from July 26 to August 3.
AFC Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United and West Ham United will compete in the round-robin tournament for the chance to win the second edition of the Premier League Summer Series. Fans will have the chance to see all four teams play in double-header matchdays, which will take place in New Jersey, Chicago and Atlanta.
The Summer Series will kick off on Saturday, July 26 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey when Everton take on AFC Bournemouth, and Manchester United face West Ham United. The teams then head to Soldier Field in Chicago for West Ham United vs. Everton and Manchester United vs. AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday, July 30. The final leg of the tournament will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday, August 3 when AFC Bournemouth play West Ham United and Manchester United face Everton.
A single ticket purchase for each venue will give fans a seat for both matches of the double-header, meaning supporters get to watch all four teams in action. Fans can register for tickets now at premierleague.com/sSummerSeries, with pre-sale starting on Thursday, March 13.
This is the second Premier League Summer Series to take place in the United States. In July 2023, more than 265,000 fans watched Premier League clubs compete in the first Stateside tournament. Chelsea FC were the inaugural Premier League Summer Series champions.
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said: “We are delighted to be bringing the Premier League Summer Series back to the United States. We know from our previous tournament and Premier League Mornings Live events that we and our clubs have incredibly loyal and passionate fans in the U.S. who get up early to follow their teams during the season.
“In these four clubs we have world-class players and managers who will undoubtedly give supporters a fantastic Premier League experience just before the season starts.”
