It's not every summer you get the chance to see your favorite Premier League club stateside, but an unprecedented number of teams from England's top flight are now planning a preseason invasion before the 2023-24 campaign begins on August 12.
The latest announcement is the unveiling of the Premier League Summer Series USA 2023 schedule, stadiums, clubs and locations. Beginning July 22, six squads will contest nine matches in five cities over the space of nine days.
The six clubs entering the mini-tournament are Chelsea, Newcastle, Fulham, Aston Villa, Brentford and Brighton. All six are clear of relegation (it's crazy to realize that 11th-place Chelsea are currently lowest in the table), and that's obviously a big consideration since it appears that Fulham have taken the place of a team that was earlier rumored, relegation-threatened Leeds.
The five Premier League Summer Series stadiums (all located on the East Coast) are Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia, PA), FedEx Field (Landover, MD), Red Bull Arena (Harrison, NJ), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, GA) and Exploria Stadium (Orlando, FL).
Interested in buying tickets? Register now at the Premier League's website for early access to the priority booking window. Pre-sale begins Tuesday, April 25, and general sale is on Wednesday, April 26.
If you can't make it, NBC Sports will broadcast the Summer Series across the networks of NBCUniversal and Peacock.
Below you'll find the complete schedule, as well as club-by-club guides.
Premier League Summer Series USA 2023 schedule
Chelsea Premier League Summer Series schedule
Thoughts: Will Christian Pulisic still be with Chelsea at this point? He's actually a rumored Newcastle transfer target. All we know is that Todd Boehly's going to be busy.
Newcastle Premier League Summer Series schedule
Thoughts: Miguel Almirón makes his return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and 71,000 will be there to see it. Things have changed a lot since 2015, when Newcastle was drawing 20,000 to Miller Park in Milwaukee with most fans there to see Atlas.
Fulham Premier League Summer Series schedule
Thoughts: Every Fulhamerica match should be an instant sell-out. This is basically the Tim Ream 2022 World Cup Appreciation Tour.
Aston Villa Premier League Summer Series schedule
Thoughts: Your chance to see Emi Martínez in the flesh. After not doing anything all season, Philippe Coutinho probably scores a banger too.
Brighton Premier League Summer Series schedule
Thoughts: Bring your children to watch Kaoru Mitoma and teach them the science of the dribble. Also have them get 18-year-old Evan Ferguson's autograph for you.
Brentford Premier League Summer Series schedule
Thoughts: Will Ivan Toney still be around? He's worth the price of admission.
It's also worth noting that Arsenal are already scheduled to play the MLS All-Stars on July 19 in Washington D.C., and Manchester United are playing Wrexham in San Diego (July 25) and Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas (July 30) at this time.
At this same time there's also Leagues Cup (July 21-Aug. 19) action between all 47 MLS and Liga MX clubs. And we'll all be keeping strange hours to follow the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Get out that personal planner and start circling some dates because life's coming at you fast.
