Bayern Munich’s date with Real Madrid headlines the International Champions Cup’s U.S. schedule, but there are a number on interesting matches set to take place stateside this summer.

The European giants will meet at NRG Stadium in Houston as they gear up for another lengthy season in multiple competitions. Robert Lewandowski, Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, and Thomas Muller are the marquee names pending they remain with their clubs.

Unlike past years where we saw several American players take part, only one will be expected to return from 2018. Former FC Dallas product Chris Richards will be with Bayern Munich to take on Arsenal and AC Milan as well as Los Blancos.

In total, 11 North American cities will be used with teams like Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Roma and Benfica also making the trip.

  1. How is there no game at Banc of California stadium but there is one at whatever The Stub Hub Center is now called? I know us Angelinos don’t show up for USMNT games, but we definitely love euro teams. Even more so than the MLS. Would have been great to see a game at the brand new stadium!

  3. Is it a coincidence there have been no MLS teams included ever since the Red Bulls equaled the winner on points?

    Seriously, I’m happy to see MLS move away from participating in mid-season friendly tournaments and focus on league and Open Cup matches.

    • Sorry MLS teams will still be playing plenty of friendlies this Summer against Euro opponents, including some teams on this list. They just won’t be part of the “tournament”.
