Premier League Summer Tour and US Tournament Announcements.
The English Premier League is set to bring a six-team exhibition tour to the United States in July, with Philadelphia being one of its destinations. The Lincoln Financial Field will host all six teams over the weekend of July 22-23. The six touring teams are in the top 11, led by third-place Newcastle. Chelsea is the worst of them, remarkably, in 11th place and far off its usual place among the title contenders. Philadelphia-based Comcast spends billions of dollars on Premier League broadcast rights, and its TV and streaming channels will show all the games.
