Liverpool are to return to the United States this summer for three friendlies as their pre-season preparations take shape. Liverpool are slated to play Sunderland at Nashville's GEODIS Park on July 25, for what will be the club's first-ever trip to Tennessee.
The tour concludes on August 2 in Chicago as Liverpool meet a second Premier League opponent in Leeds United at Solider Field, which holds around 67,000. Liverpool estimate they have 26 million fans living in the United States and a return to the region is viewed as a potentially lucrative jaunt, given the World Cup final takes place on July 19 at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium.
During their time in the US, the LFC Foundation, Liverpool's official charity, will take part in a range of local community activities, as well as a number of events involving club legends that include Sir Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush and Tash Dowie. The summer of 2024 saw Liverpool visit Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Columbia as they faced off against Real Betis, Arsenal and Manchester United as part of their pre-season programme under Slot.
