Global soccer giants are headed to the United States this summer as part of the Soccer Champions Tour, announced late last week. The tour will bring six of the biggest clubs in the world to this side of the Atlantic for an eight game showcase tour taking place between Sunday, July 22 and Wednesday, August 2.

Spain’s Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, Italy’s Juventus Football Club and AC Milan, and England’s Arsenal and Manchester United are featured in the series, which will take place in Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Francisco. The tour is being backed by Sixth Street, a company formed with the purpose of bringing high profile clubs to markets across the globe where their fans reside far from their traditional home bases and leagues. Colorado-based events giant AEG is also involved in the tour as it has been in years past, as is premium experience company Legends.
“We are proud to be partnering with the world’s most storied clubs, which have the world’s strongest and most passionate supporters, to provide this rare opportunity for American fans to experience the game at the highest level,” said Alan Waxman, Co-Founder and CEO at Sixth Street. “While this year’s tour consists of men’s clubs, we look forward to expanding next summer to bring the world’s best women’s clubs to local audiences around the globe, and in the future to evolve this series into a format with real games of consequence.”
Highlights of the 2023 Soccer Champions Tour include Spanish giants Real Madrid and FC Barcelona meeting in Texas for the first time ever at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys; Manchester United and Real Madrid facing off for the first time since 2018; FC Barcelona and Arsenal competing in a rematch of the 2006 European final; and Italian rivals AC Milan and Juventus playing each other in California for the first time in their more than 120-year histories.
“AEG is excited about the partnership with Soccer Champions Tour and Legends to bring the most successful soccer clubs in the world to fans across the U.S.,” said Tom Braun, Sr. Vice President, Soccer & Business Operations and Business Development at AEG. “Every matchup in this series is of the highest caliber and we’re thrilled that American soccer fans will have the opportunity to see these epic games featuring legendary teams live and in person.”
