<p>There have been talks of conducting some of the Premier League regular season matches in the United States for some time, considering the kind of attention and support the English clubs have received during their pre-season tours to America. Last year, NBC executive and figurehead in negotiations for the multi-billion dollar media rights deal with the Premier League, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/nbc-continue-push-premier-league-games-in-u-s/blt186fad9f7c693193#cse0d33cb239f60cf5" target="_blank">Jon Miller claimed that they are actively trying to bring some of the top-flight games to the US</a>. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Premier League’s chief football officer, Tony Scholes has now ruled out the possibility of conducting matches in the US. Manchester City and Chelsea, however, will travel to America in the summer as they are all set to participate in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/fifa-club-world-cup-2025-schedule-teams-tickets-format/bltf0f055146b3da38d" target="_blank">brand new format of the FIFA Club World</a>. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/soccer/english-premier-league-usa-games-20250204.html?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=ios&amp;utm_campaign=app_ios_article_share&amp;utm_content=4WE47ALTVBCKLMHF5CJ36LGEFI" target="_blank"><em>The Inquirer</em></a>, Scholes said: "Thankfully, we don’t feel the need to come and play in the U.S. during the season. And you’ll understand the challenges that this would present in the U.K. as well. So it’s not on our agenda. No discussions are taking place on it. Our position as the Premier League is that we’ve got no intention of playing games abroad."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>After a brief break this weekend due to FA Cup action, the Premier League will resume on February 12 with Liverpool taking on Everton in the Merseyside derby.</p>
