How to watch the Premier League Summer Series in Philly

For the first time in English Premier League soccer history, the league is hosting a summer series showdown among six of their teams in the U.S. First stop on the Stateside tour? Philadelphia.

On July 22 and July 23 at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphians are treated to three matches between some of the top clubs in the Premier League. These will be the first matches in a nine-match pre-season tournament dubbed the “Premier League Summer Series” that will see Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Fulham and Newcastle United football clubs travel up and down the East Coast from Philly to Orlando.

What’s really special about the Philly leg of the tour is that we’re the only city that gets three games, one of which is a doubleheader for the price of one.

Here’s everything you need to know about watching the Summer Series, even if you can’t get tickets.

The first match of the series will be on Saturday, July 22 at 7 p.m. with a match-up between Chelsea vs. Brighton & Hove Albion. On Sunday, July 23, Fulham will take on Brentford at 4 p.m. with a following match between Newcastle United and Aston Villa at 7 p.m.

All three matches will be held at Lincoln Financial Field, and official tickets are sold through Ticketmaster. While you may be reluctant to use Ticketmaster over recent pricing concerns, be careful when buying tickets online from third-party resellers. Here are two Inquirer guides on avoiding online ticket scams and buying tickets in Philly without using Ticketmaster.

At the time of publishing, Ticketmaster is listing tickets for the July 22 match for around $50 for nosebleeders to $425 for some of the best seats in the house. However, tickets to the July 23 doubleheader match-up are still going for between $40 to $160 for the best seats.
