'El Clasico' preseason US date confirmed

Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet on 3rd August at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, which holds 82,500 spectators and will host the Copa America and the 2026 World Cup final, as part of the Soccer Champions Tour, which has organised the regular pre-season competition in recent years.
'El Clasico' already took place last summer at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Texas), which ended in a resounding 3-0 win for Barcelona with goals from Dembele, Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres. In 2022, the Catalan side also claimed victory by beating Real Madrid 1-0 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas thanks to a goal from Raphinha.
The tournament, which will feature Milan, Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid, will feature six matches in six different stadiums across the United States.
The Catalan side will kick off on 30th July against Manchester City at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando (Florida), and a day later, Madrid will take on Milan at Soldier Field Stadium (Chicago).
After 'El Clasico', Xavi Hernandez's men will take on Milan at M&T Stadium in Baltimore (Maryland) and Carlo Ancelotti's men will take on Chelsea at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte (North Carolina).
The competition kicks off with Manchester City's match against AC Milan on 27 July at Yankee Stadium in New York, which will be the only match without Spanish teams and tickets will go on sale from 27 March.
