Four-time reigning Premier League champions Manchester City will face Spanish powerhouse Barcelona in an FC Series friendly at Camping World Stadium on Tuesday, July 30. The highly-anticipated match, featuring two of Europe’s most storied football clubs, will start at 7 p.m. ET, with a live broadcast airing on ESPN.
The match will be one of four Manchester City exhibitions in the United States under the FC Series banner, marking the fourth consecutive year the Orlando-based operation will host top European teams in Central Florida and throughout the U.S. during the summer preseason window.
The exhibition is part of the FC Series, a showcase of international clubs across the U.S. this summer. The Orlando match is one of two FC Series contests produced in partnership with the DIRECTV Soccer Champions Tour this summer.
In addition to the July 30 match in Orlando, Manchester City’s whirlwind FC Series tour also includes friendlies against top Scottish club Celtic (July 23 at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina) and top Italian side AC Milan (July 27 at Yankee Stadium in New York), with the team’s stateside finale coming against fellow Premier League icons Chelsea on August 3 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
