The provisional schedule initially pits United against Roma in Denver, Liverpool against Olympiakos in Chicago, both on 26 July, before City play Milan in Pittsburgh the following day.

United have been pencilled in to face Inter in Washington on 29 July, whereas Liverpool would play Milan in Philadelphia the following day and City would meet Olympiakos in New York.

Chelsea and Everton took part in last year's event and this summer's event will also see matches in Dallas, Phoenix, Charlotte, Ann Arbor and Hartford.
