The 2023 Premier League Summer Series was the first edition of the Premier League Summer Series, a friendly pre-season tournament organised by the Premier League in the United States.[1]

Chelsea were crowned champions of the tournament with two wins and one draw in three matches.[2]

Format

The six invited Premier League teams (Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea, Fulham and Newcastle United) each played three matches, never facing the same opposition more than once. Teams were awarded three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. Following the conclusion of the tournament, the club with the most points was named the winner of the Premier League Summer Series. If multiple teams were tied on points, their position in the table was to be determined based on superior goal difference, then number of goals scored, and then results of head-to-head matches.[3]
