I woke up today to a balmy 74ºF in Boston and suddenly felt the first trumpets of the summer. And later, the Premier League and LaLiga announced they would be around this side of the Atlantic during the sunshine season and decided to wear shorts and flip-flops to fit the mood.
We already talked to you about the Premier League visit here, so this post will solely focus on LaLiga. Who is coming? When and where are they coming? And who is playing against who?
Easy, the answers are coming.
LaLiga Summer Tour 2023 Mexico, United States
LaLiga has been dreaming about hosting regular season matches on this side of the world for a long time, but for now, having friendly games during the off-season is the only chance available.
The U.S. is a periodic destination in this context, but LaLiga has also decided to add a couple of games in México to the calendar this year. In fact, the tour starts there on Aug. 2.
The matches?
- Atlético de Madrid vs. Real Sociedad – Estadio BBVA, Monterrey – 9 p.m. ET
- Sevilla vs. Real Betis – Estadio Akron, Guadalajara – 11 p.m. ET
Both games are in 2026 World Cup stadiums and El Derbi Andaluz between Sevilla and Betis surely will bring special sauce, considering Tecatito Corona and local boy Andrés Guardado could clash against each other.
Get ready for an unforgettable summer of soccer with @SevillaFC_ENG, @RealBetis_en, @RealSociedadEN and @atletienglish. #LaLigaSummerTour2023, bringing some of the top players from around the world to the U.S, and Mexico! #LaLigaAmerica

The tour then moves to the U.S. for a doubleheader at Oracle Park in San Francisco on Saturday, Aug. 5. Tickets will grant access to both games that night.
- Real Sociedad vs. Real Betis – Oracle Park, SF – 7 p.m. ET
- Atlético de Madrid vs. Sevilla – Oracle Park, SF – 10 p.m. ET
Tickets are still unavailable, but you can register here for updates.
