A regular-season Spanish league game is coming to the United States

by August 16th, 2018

A regular-season Spanish league game is coming to the United States, possibly as early as this year, but a “El Classico” between Real Madrid and Barcelona is pretty much out of the question .

La Liga has said it is planning to play a match across the Atlantic as part of a new 15-year partnership with sports and entertainment group Relevent to promote soccer in North America.

The group operates the International Champions Cup, the World’s largest summer club tournament. Barcelona and Real Madrid faced each other in the tournament in Miami last year.

The league gave few details on the planned regular-season game. League president Javier Tebas, however, dismissed the possibility of taking the “clasico” away from Spain.

The league said it is still making arrangements for the game and there is no timetable for when it will happen, but it could be this season.
