The Arsenal and Manchester United Football Clubs will bring their English Premier League rivalry to SoFi Stadium, July 27.
The teams met last summer at MetLife Stadium with Manchester United winning 2-0 in front of a sold out crowd of 82,262.
Tickets officially go on sale to the public Tuesday at 9 a.m.
Arsenal is currently third in the Premier League standings and Manchester United is sixth.
“Our tour last year was a real success and it’s always an amazing experience to play in front of our passionate supporters in the U.S.,” Arsenal’s coach Mikel Arteta said in a statement. “We’re looking forward to returning and seeing everyone again.”
Manchester United is annually a big draw in the U.S. and is considered one of the most widely supported clubs in the world.
“We had an incredible time during last year’s visit to the U.S. and we are pleased to be returning with the men’s team to prepare for the 2024-25 season,” Manchester United’s Football Director John Murtough said in a statement. “The popularity of English football is continuously growing in the U.S. and we’ve come to expect passionate and enthusiastic support from our U.S. fan base. They didn’t disappoint last year and everyone at the club is looking forward to reconnecting with those fans again this summer.”
The game is part of a busy summer at SoFi Stadium, with two games in June in the CONMEBOL Copa America, setting the stage for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, when the stadium will host eight games.
