The Premier League and NBC Sports are taking the Premier League Mornings Live fan festival to Philadelphia for the first time, on 15-16 October.
The two-day fan festival will take place at Dilworth Park, located outside of Philadelphia's City Hall in Center City, and features live action from nine Premier League fixtures presented across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, Telemundo and Universo.
The weekend's event will conclude with a mouthwatering meeting between the Premier League's past two title-winning clubs as Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield.

"The Premier League Mornings Live Fan Festivals have continued to be fantastic events for our dedicated supporters in the US, who rise early in the morning to watch their teams play," said Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters.
"We are extremely pleased to be kicking off this season's events with NBC in Philadelphia, as we continue in our aim to bring those in America the best matchday experience possible."

The Philadelphia fan festival is the seventh Premier League Mornings Live supporter event to be presented by NBC Sports and the Premier League, and the first since October 2021 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
