The Summer Series returns for the first time since the inaugural event in 2023. It pits four EPL clubs against one another in a “friendly tournament” playing across the United States, giving the clubs a chance to gear up for the upcoming season, which begins in just a few weeks.

Elsewhere this summer in another venture, Tim Howard and Clint Dempsey have worked with U.S. healthcare company Abbott and Real Madrid on the Dream Team initiative to improve the pipeline system in a country that is still learning to love soccer as a whole.
