Liverpool face Sunderland at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, July 25, 2026, as the opening game of Liverpool’s US pre-season tour. The friendly is part of TEG Sport’s 2026 Summer Soccer Series, staged at GEODIS Park, the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States and Canada. It kicks off a three-match American leg for Liverpool, who then travel to Yankee Stadium in New York to face Wrexham on July 29, before wrapping up the US tour against Leeds United at Soldier Field in Chicago on August 2. More than 26 million Liverpool supporters live in the USA, the fastest-growing fan base of any Premier League club in the country, and the Reds were the most-watched team in the division there last season, so expect a huge crowd in Nashville for this one.
Both sides go into the game off strong recent Premier League form against each other. Liverpool won the most recent meeting between the clubs 1-0 away at Sunderland in February 2026, following a 1-1 draw at Anfield back in December 2025. This match is a crucial part of Liverpool’s preseason build, aimed at building fitness, integrating new signings, and developing tactical chemistry ahead of the new Premier League campaign, before the club returns home to Anfield for two further friendlies against AS Monaco and Como 1907, concluding their preseason on August 16. For Sunderland, who impressed after their promotion back to the top flight, it’s a good early test against elite opposition as they continue building toward their first full season back among the Premier League’s elite.
