Leeds United to face Premier League champions as USA pre-season tour details are revealed
LEEDS United have announced details of their 2026-27 pre-season tour to the United States this summer – where they will face Liverpool, Sunderland and Wrexham during their first visit to the States in 29 years.
The trip which will begin in late July, will see United based on the East Coast where they will play matches in three major cities.
Daniel Farke’s side will start off with a game against Wrexham – co-owned by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – in the Raymond James Stadium in the Florida city of Tampa on Saturday, July 25.
Following this, Leeds will head north to New Jersey to take on fellow Premier League side Sunderland at New York Red Bulls’ Sports Illustrated Stadium on Thursday, July 30.
The tour will finish with a huge match against 2024/25 top-flight champions Liverpool at Soldier Field, home of Chicago Fire and the Chicago Bears, on Sunday, August 2.
Speaking about the tour, United’s chief business officer Morrie Eisenberg said: "We are delighted to have been invited to visit the US this pre-season, with the opportunity to play three great matches at three fantastic venues.
"This is a great chance to grow our global presence, work with our commercial partners and most importantly provide the first team squad with outstanding training facilities to prepare for the new season.
"I hope supporters are as excited at the prospect of playing in the US for the first time in nearly 30 years as we are, and we can’t wait to see our famous following on the other side of the pond.”
Kick-off times will be announced in due course.
