First up, we'll play Manchester United at SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, on July 27. This will be the second time we’ll have faced each other on American soil, with the same fixture last July selling out the 80,000-capacity MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.  

In another high-profile game, we’ll travel to Philadelphia where we’ll play Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field on July 31. This will be the first time we’ll have played each other in the US.

Our sporting Director, Edu, said: “Our plans for pre-season are taking great shape. Playing against two strong teams in great stadiums in front of so many of our supporters will provide Mikel and the squad with a strong test and great experience ahead of the new season.

“We know how great SoFi Stadium is after our sold-out match there last year. The facilities are incredible and we’re excited to return. We look forward to making further announcements about our trip soon.”

Manager Mikel Arteta added: “It’s great to be visiting the US again this summer. Our matches against Manchester United and Liverpool will be great preparation ahead of the new season. 

"Our tour last year was a real success and it’s always an amazing experience to play in front of our passionate supporters in the US. We’re looking forward to returning and seeing everyone again.”

Premier League US tour: Schedule plus TV and ticket details

by Kyle Fansler April 13, 2023

The Premier League has announced a major summer tour involving six clubs across five cities. In total, there will be nine matches between Premier League teams in the United States in 2023 as part of this summer tour. Note that this does not include Arsenal or Manchester United , who both have individual summer friendlies planned in the United States this year.

The six clubs making the collective trip across the pond are Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, Fulham and Newcastle. Each team is playing three games in the United States as part of this summer series across five venues. Games are in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, Harrison and Landover. The latter two are just outside of New York and Washington, DC, respectively.

This is the first time the Premier League is making a collective league effort to play a preseason tournament in the United States. In the past, teams traveled individually, but still played Premier League teams often. For example, the Florida Cup last year pit Arsenal against Chelsea .

Premier League US tour schedule

These games take place over a nine-day span from Saturday, July 22 to Sunday, July 30. The action starts in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, with a total of three games over that weekend. Chelsea plays against Brighton on Saturday before Fulham plays Brentford and Newcastle takes on Aston Villa.

Then, on Wednesday July 26, there are three games. Two are in Atlanta, which are Brentford-Brighton and Chelsea vs Newcastle. The third game is in Orlando as Fulham faces Aston Villa.

The last set of games start Friday, July 28 at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ. Brighton and Newcastle conclude their USA ventures at the home of the New York Red Bulls. Then, on Sunday, July 30, there are two games at FedEx field in Landover, MD. Aston Villa battles Brentford before London clubs Chelsea and Fulham play.

How to watch

In addition to announcing the schedule, the Premier League also clarified that NBC is in charge of broadcasting the games. NBCUniversal’s family of channels, including USA Network as well as Peacock , have coverage of games throughout the preseason tournament.

You can also start to think about tickets to watch these games in the United States. Pre-sale tickets open on Tuesday, April 25. One day later, general sale tickets go on sale.

6 clubs, 5 cities, 9 games: premier league summer series headed to usa in july.

• Website Submission
• Website Top Of Article Submission

It's not every summer you get the chance to see your favorite Premier League club stateside, but an unprecedented number of teams from England's top flight are now planning a preseason invasion before the 2023-24 campaign begins on August 12.

The latest announcement is the unveiling of the Premier League Summer Series USA 2023 schedule, stadiums, clubs and locations. Beginning July 22, six squads will contest nine matches in five cities over the space of nine days.

The six clubs entering the mini-tournament are Chelsea, Newcastle, Fulham, Aston Villa, Brentford and Brighton. All six are clear of relegation (it's crazy to realize that 11th-place Chelsea are currently lowest in the table), and that's obviously a big consideration since it appears that Fulham have taken the place of a team that was earlier rumored, relegation-threatened Leeds.      

The five Premier League Summer Series stadiums (all located on the East Coast) are Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia, PA), FedEx Field (Landover, MD), Red Bull Arena (Harrison, NJ), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, GA) and Exploria Stadium (Orlando, FL). 

Interested in buying tickets? Register now at the Premier League's website for early access to the priority booking window. Pre-sale begins Tuesday, April 25, and general sale is on Wednesday, April 26.

If you can't make it, NBC Sports will broadcast the Summer Series across the networks of NBCUniversal and Peacock.

Below you'll find the complete schedule, as well as club-by-club guides. 

Premier League Summer Series USA 2023 schedule

Chelsea Premier League Summer Series schedule  

Thoughts: Will Christian Pulisic still be with Chelsea at this point? He's actually a rumored Newcastle transfer target. All we know is that Todd Boehly's going to be busy. 

Newcastle Premier League Summer Series schedule

Thoughts: Miguel Almirón makes his return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and 71,000 will be there to see it. Things have changed a lot since 2015, when Newcastle was drawing 20,000 to Miller Park in Milwaukee with most fans there to see Atlas.  

Fulham Premier League Summer Series schedule

Thoughts: Every Fulhamerica match should be an instant sell-out. This is basically the Tim Ream 2022 World Cup Appreciation Tour. 

Aston Villa Premier League Summer Series schedule

Thoughts: Your chance to see Emi Martínez in the flesh. After not doing anything all season, Philippe Coutinho probably scores a banger too.  

Brighton Premier League Summer Series schedule

Thoughts: Bring your children to watch Kaoru Mitoma and teach them the science of the dribble. Also have them get 18-year-old Evan Ferguson's autograph for you.

Brentford Premier League Summer Series schedule

Thoughts: Will Ivan Toney still be around? He's worth the price of admission. 

It's also worth noting that Arsenal are already scheduled to play the MLS All-Stars on July 19 in Washington D.C., and Manchester United are playing Wrexham in San Diego (July 25) and Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas (July 30) at this time.

At this same time there's also Leagues Cup (July 21-Aug. 19) action between all 47 MLS and Liga MX clubs. And we'll all be keeping strange hours to follow the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.  

Get out that personal planner and start circling some dates because life's coming at you fast.

Alan Shearer: ‘I love the passion of the fans’

The Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorer Alan Shearer spoke to ProSoccerTalk (full interview above) about why this Stateside tournament is going to be special.

“It is fantastic news. I have been lucky enough to spend time with the guys at Premier League Mornings Live and be at seven of the eight that have happened and it is fascinating,” Shearer said. “I love the passion of the fans. I love the friendly rivalry. For them to get up at stupid o’clock and queue for hours and come in and watch their teams and mingle and all get together. I love it. To have six teams coming over to America in the summer, I think it is fantastic and something to look forward to.”

Created by the Premier League, the Summer Series will see games take place in Atlanta, Orlando, Harrison, NJ, Philadelphia and Landover, MD.

“I love how passionate the fans are,” Shearer added about Premier League fans in the USA. “They are obviously very knowledgeable. They obviously love their football very much. I understand it might not be the No. 1 sport in America but soccer is growing and it is growing really fast… The more events like this, the more times that we, the Premier League, come over to America and showcase the Premier League and the trophy at these organized events, it is only going to get bigger.”

“I think this will be the first of many,” Shearer continued. “It wouldn’t surprise me at all if this was going to happen every single season. It will be a great tournament, a chance to see some Premier League legends and huge football clubs.”

The tournament follows along the same lines as the league previously hosting the Premier League Asia Trophy which was held biennially in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and China .

Which teams are playing in the Summer Series?

The teams competing in the Premier League Summer Series in the USA in 2023 are:

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters is extremely excited about the league hosting their first-ever preseason tournament in the USA.

“We are delighted to be bringing six clubs to the USA in July for the first-ever Premier League Summer Series,” Masters said. “Our clubs have incredible supporters in the US, who passionately follow their teams throughout the season. We have seen this dedication first-hand from the tens of thousands who have attended our Mornings Live fan events and are excited to be building on this by bringing live Premier League action to five cities this summer.

“We are currently enjoying one of the most competitive Premier League seasons of all time at both ends of the table and I am sure we will see some thrilling matches during the tournament.”

Premier League Summer Series coming to USA in 2023: How to get tickets, watch live, schedule originally appeared on NBCSports.com

The English Premier League’s summer tour will kick off in Philadelphia

Chelsea, Fulham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brentford and Brighton will all come to town to play at Lincoln Financial Field on July 22 and 23.

Update: Tickets are now on sale. Click here for details on how to buy them.

The English Premier League is bringing a six-team exhibition tour to the United States in July, and Philadelphia will be one of its destinations.

Lincoln Financial Field will host all six teams over the weekend of July 22-23: Chelsea vs. Brighton, Fulham vs. Brentford, and Newcastle United vs. Aston Villa.

It will be the first major soccer event at the Linc since the U.S. women’s national team played there in August 2019 . And while the visitors will come from abroad, there will be at least one local angle: Philadelphia-based Comcast spends billions of dollars on Premier League broadcast rights, and its TV and streaming channels will show all the games.

If you were expecting a different local angle, that’s for good reason. Hershey’s Christian Pulisic , the biggest American men’s soccer star, plays for Chelsea. But with a new manager coming this summer and an overstuffed roster of big players, it’s widely expected that Pulisic at least will test the waters on leaving the Blues this summer .

» READ MORE: Christian Pulisic’s ‘fearless’ drive has made a kid from Hershey a World Cup star

So if you want to buy tickets when they go on sale April 25, don’t assume you’ll be able to watch Pulisic here.

Those six teams aren’t the only English teams coming over. Manchester United and Arsenal are too, but separate from this. United will play Rob McElhenney-owned Wrexham on July 25 in San Diego and Dortmund on July 30 in Las Vegas and probably has another game to announce.

Arsenal will be the MLS All-Star team’s opponent on July 19 in D.C., and it might set up other games while in the States.

What about Leeds United, featuring Medford’s Brenden Aaronson and fellow American stars Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie? They’d sell a boatload of tickets here, and the club, and the Premier League surely knows it — not least because the San Francisco 49ers have a big stake in Leeds’ ownership.

» READ MORE: From Leeds to Philadelphia, Brenden Aaronson’s first Premier League goal was big news

The answer is found in the standings. Leeds is in serious danger of relegation, currently safe by just two points with eight games to go. A whopping nine of the league’s 20 teams are in the relegation fight. If Leeds goes down, it wouldn’t be able to be part of a Premier League tour.

All 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.

The Athletic reported that Fulham came in for Leeds so the league could stop worrying about whether Leeds would stay up. Fulham has its own big-name Americans in Tim Ream and Antonee “Jedi” Robinson .

» READ MORE: Zack Steffen opens up about missing the World Cup and returning to the U.S. men’s soccer team last month

Chelsea still should easily sell the most tickets of any of the teams involved because it has the biggest fan base. Newcastle could attract the most attention, though, because its majority owner is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund . The Saudi government has insisted it doesn’t control the team, but that is in dispute.

In the ongoing U.S. court case between the PGA Tour and Saudi-funded LIV Golf , lawyers for the PIF claimed sovereign immunity because the fund is “a sovereign instrumentality of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” and its chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan — who also chairs Newcastle United — is “a sitting minister of the government.”

That got the attention of not just the Premier League, which bars governments from direct roles in running its teams. When a PIF-led consortium bought Newcastle in 2021, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters told the BBC that if the league found the Saudi government to be involved in the team, “we can remove the consortium as owners of the club.”

It remains to be seen how the matter will play out.

The other venues for the Premier League’s tour will be Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium; Orlando’s Exploria Stadium; Harrison, N.J.’s Red Bull Arena; and Landover, Md.,’s FedEx Field.

Interestingly, the Union also have a home game on July 22, against Mexico’s Club Tijuana in the new Leagues Cup tournament between MLS and Liga MX teams. The kickoff time for that game has not been set yet. We’ll see if it is set to not overlap with Chelsea-Brighton, which likely will draw a bigger crowd than Subaru Park’s 18,500-seat capacity.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
