The Summer Series returns for the first time since the inaugural event in 2023. It pits four EPL clubs against one another in a “friendly tournament” playing across the United States, giving the clubs a chance to gear up for the upcoming season, which begins in just a few weeks.

Bournemouth kicked off their Premier League Summer Series campaign with a convincing 3-0 win over Everton at MetLife Stadium. Andoni Iraola's attacking side got the better of David Moyes' error-strewn team, as Philip Billing and Dango Ouattara scored two goals in four minutes during the second half to sink the Toffees.
