Premier League: Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United and West Ham United to play in Summer Series
Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United and West Ham United will play preseason matches in the United States as part of the second Premier League Summer Series.
The teams will play in three doubleheaders this summer as they prepare for the 2025-26 Premier League season. The announcement was made Sunday during halftime of the match between Manchester United and Arsenal, which aired on NBC, Peacock and Telemundo.
“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,” Premier League CEO Richard Masters said. “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.”
The series begins on July 26 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which will host the 2026 World Cup final.

The 2023 Summer Series featured six clubs — Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Fulham and Newcastle United — as each team played three games. The nine matches took place across five venues. Chelsea won the series with two wins and a draw.
NBC analyst Tim Howard said what they saw in the first Summer Series helped them during the season in their breakdown of the Premier League.
All six matches will be streamed on Peacock, with two airing on NBC.
