Chicago to host 2025 Premier League Summer Series games

Wednesday, 12 Mar, 2025 0

Chicago will welcome a quartet of English Premier League teams this summer.

The Chicago Sports Commission joined the Premier League to announce the return of the Premier League Summer Series in 2025.

Chicago has been named as one of three US hosts of the second edition of the pre-season tournament, delivering a Premier League matchday experience for fans.

On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, Chicago’s Soldier Field will host a double-header featuring four Premier League clubs – AFC Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United, and West Ham United.

This will be Chicago’s first time hosting a matchup of Premier League teams and comes after record-breaking attendance at the Premier League Mornings Live fan festival in Lincoln Park last September.

“Chicago is the greatest sports city in America, and I am thrilled to join the Chicago Sports Commission in welcoming the Premier League to Soldier Field this summer,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson.

“This event will showcase the beauty and diversity of Chicago to viewers around the world and demonstrate our ability to host major high-profile events.”

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.

Chicago is the only new city to be hosting Premier League Summer Series matches this year.

Each leg of this year’s round-robin format tournament will involve all four teams playing double-headers at each location.

The Summer Series kicks 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.

“We are delighted to be bringing the Premier League Summer Series back to the United States,” said Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters.

“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 US who get up early to follow their teams during the season.”

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.

Ticket registration is now open and tickets for all matches will be available via pre-sale from 10am ET on Thursday, March 13.

General ticket sales will begin at 10 am ET on Friday, March 14.
