The 2026 United States summer soccer tour is set to light up six major markets, kicking off on July 25, just days after the World Cup final. Fans across the country will get a rare chance to see top English talent on home soil during a compact, high‑energy schedule.
A Star‑Studded Pre‑Season Line‑up
Leeds United, Liverpool and Sunderland headline the tour, each bringing recent Premier League narratives into the mix. Liverpool finished fifth last season, securing a Champions League spot, while Sunderland placed seventh and earned Europa League qualification. Leeds, after a 14th‑place finish, will look to rebuild momentum. The three clubs will be joined by EFL Championship side Wrexham, creating a diverse slate of matchups that promise competitive moments and fresh storylines.
Where the Games Will Take Place
The fixtures will be spread across seven venues in six different cities: Tampa, Nashville, New York, Harrison, New Jersey, Chicago and Chester, Pennsylvania. Each location offers a distinct regional flavor, from the vibrant music scene of Nashville to the historic streets of New York, ensuring that supporters from coast to coast can experience the action without traveling excessive distances.
Ownership, Documentary Buzz and Growing Appeal
Wrexham’s participation is especially noteworthy because of its star‑studded ownership. Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac acquired the club in 2020, a move that sparked a surge in global interest. Their involvement has been amplified by the documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham," which chronicles the club’s rise and has attracted a new generation of fans. The heightened visibility has translated into packed stadiums and a growing merchandise market, making the club a focal point of the tour’s promotional narrative.
How to Get Your Seats
Tickets for the matches range from $70 to $200, catering to a wide spectrum of fans. Purchases can be made through a variety of resale platforms, including SeatGeek, StubHub, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster. Each site offers different fee structures and seating maps, allowing buyers to select the option that best fits their budget and preferred view.
