Leeds United will meet Liverpool in a pre-season fixture in Chicago as both clubs continue warm-weather preparations in the United States. The match at Soldier Field offers the Whites a chance to test themselves against Premier League opposition away from Elland Road before competitive football resumes.
Where and when
The fixture takes place at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois. The stadium did not stage any matches during this summer’s World Cup but will host this friendly between two English top-flight sides as part of their US tours.
Viewing information for UK supporters

Team news and context
Liverpool arrive in Chicago having posted a narrow 1-0 victory over Wrexham at Yankee Stadium in their opening US outing. Their squad has been affected by several departures on free transfers ahead of the new campaign: Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konaté have left after their contracts expired.
Managers often use these friendlies to blend trial tactics and evaluate new personnel. For Liverpool, the matches will provide a window into how the squad adapts following those exits; for Leeds, the game offers a benchmark against one of the country’s highest-profile clubs.
Discipline and dressing-room matters
Tensions briefly surfaced in Liverpool’s win over Wrexham when there was a disagreement at full-time involving midfielders Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai concerning the captaincy armband, which was instead passed to Kostas Tsimikas. New manager Andoni Iraola will be keen that any unrest is settled quickly ahead of the encounter with Leeds.
What supporters should watch for
- How Leeds’ matchday selection measures up against top-level opposition.
- Whether Liverpool’s squad can compensate for recent departures in terms of depth and cohesion.
- Any tactical signals from both managers about priorities for the coming season.
Both clubs have used pre-season fixtures to rotate players and finalise preparations; the result in Chicago will be of interest to fans but less decisive than performances in the opening weeks of competitive competition. For those unable to travel, the club streaming service is the official route in the UK to view Liverpool’s pre-season schedule.
Practical note: All Red Video requires a paid subscription; prospective viewers should check the platform for coverage details and timing of broadcast relative to local UK kickoff information.
