DIRECTV
Attention American footy fans: Christmas has come early this summer. The 2023 Soccer Champions Tour presented by DIRECTV is about to begin. Get ready for some of the best football matches ever played in the United States.
DIRECTV continues its nearly three decades of being a leader in sports by bringing these matches to soccer fans from coast to coast, including three in the company’s hometown of Los Angeles.
Six of the world’s top football juggernauts – FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, AC Milan, and Juventus – will embark on a tour in dream matchups on American soil. We’re talking about a combined 31 European titles between these clubs playing live in Las Vegas, Orlando, Houston, and California.
I mean, come on: Barcelona vs. Real Madrid playing each other here in the States? El Clásico is coming to you from AT&T Stadium on July 29. This is the 52nd exhibition match in this storied rivalry’s history, with Barcelona leading with 23 wins.
Real Madrid is coming off a huge victory this past May when they defeated Osasuna to win their 21st Copa del Ray title and their first since 2014.
For all of you Premier League hooligans, get ready for Arsenal and Manchester United in head-to-head matchups with the best talent that LaLiga and Serie A have to offer. Arsenal is certainly feeling good about playing in America lately: they just took care of the MLS All-Stars 5-0 this past week.
Plus, this is your chance to see some of your favorite USMNT in club action, including Sergiño Dest (Barcelona), Matt Turner (Arsenal), and “Captain America” Christian Pulisic on his new team AC Milan.
All of you fans who usually have to wake up at the crack of dawn to tune in to see these teams at your local soccer bar will get to enjoy these games the way they’re supposed to be enjoyed: in primetime.
