GOAL brings you an in-depth look at all the friendly fixtures of all the Premier League clubs throughout the summer.
The 2025/26 Premier League is fast approaching. Before the main event, the clubs use pre-season to get into their best shape. It is a crucial part of evaluating the squad’s readiness before the main season. The pre-season also gives a lot of time for the new players to integrate into the new setup and familiarize themselves with their teammates.
Another important aspect of the pre-season is touring new countries to meet new cultures and broaden their horizons. Tournaments like the Premier League Summer Series and Premier League Asia give the clubs a chance to capture new markets.
With that said, let us take a look at how Premier League teams like Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal are planning their pre-season tours. The first pre-season game of the season is just a week away as Crystal Palace take on Millwall on July 12th in a friendly behind closed doors.
GOAL takes you through the fixture list of all the friendlies, along with the venues and kick-off times, to stay updated.
