Which soccer teams are playing in the US this summer?
Summer in the United States is typically a great time for soccer fans as top teams travel to the US to play. Major League Soccer is, of course, in full swing. Clubs begin to fight for playoff positions in the standings. This summer also features major tournaments such as the U20 World Cup, Women’s World Cup, Nations League and CONCACAF Gold Cup. The United States hosts the latter of those two.
Along with these significant matches, there will also be a plethora of foreign teams heading Stateside for friendlies. Top Premier League clubs have been playing preseason games across the pond more frequently in recent years. This summer is no different.

Along with the big boys, fellow English top-flight teams such as Brighton, Newcastle, Fulham and Crystal Palace are also set to feature Stateside as well. Most of those are part of the Premier League Summer Series, a nine-game slate of fixtures for English clubs.
