The Summer Series returns for the first time since the inaugural event in 2023. It pits four EPL clubs against one another in a “friendly tournament” playing across the United States, giving the clubs a chance to gear up for the upcoming season, which begins in just a few weeks.

Bournemouth kicked off their Premier League Summer Series campaign with a convincing 3-0 win over Everton at MetLife Stadium. Andoni Iraola's attacking side got the better of David Moyes' error-strewn team, as Philip Billing and Dango Ouattara scored two goals in four minutes during the second half to sink the Toffees.

Taking place at three venues across the US, the six-match, round-robin style tournament also includes fellow EPL sides Manchester United and West Ham, and serves as a key warmup for the teams ahead of the start of the 2025-2026 Premier League season in three weeks time.
