Liverpool will face Premier League opposition on their pre-season tour.

Jurgen Klopp’s successor is set to begin preparations for the forthcoming 2024/25 campaign with a return to the United States this summer.

Arsenal and Manchester United have been confirmed as the Reds’ first warm-up fixtures in Philadelphia on July 31 and Columbia on August 3 respectively.

The Anfield club last crossed the Atlantic in summer 2019, when they took on Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Sporting Lisbon across three different states.

LFC’s commercial director Ben Latty said: “We are proud to announce our highly anticipated return to the USA providing a great environment for the squad to prepare for the season ahead.

“Pre-season tours always present exceptional opportunities for our supporters, the team and our official partners to engage in memorable experiences within a key focus market for the club.

“We know millions of super passionate American fans love this club and what we stand for; a fact underlined when our televised game with Arsenal in December became the most-watched Premier League game in US history.

“The USA is an important market for the club and our partners; with 67 official supporters’ clubs, international academies across 12 states and the USA being the number one international market for our merchandising business.

“We eagerly await the opportunity to bring the club closer to the fans and look forward to playing in these iconic venues.”
