Last season, West Ham (11-10-17) and Man United (11-9-18) finished back-to-back in the Premier League table, at 14 and 15, respectively. Both teams have a long history of stateside matches, with West Ham’s most recent appearance being just last summer in the inaugural Stateside Cup.

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.
