Premier League games will be played in USA in next 10 years, predicts head of LA 2028 Summer Olympics

Will the Premier League ever take place in the United States?

According to top sports agent Casey Wasserman, the English Premier League will be played in the United States. This will happen soon, maybe within 10 years.

The founder of the Wasserman Agency predicted this during an interview on the The Rich Eisen Show.

Near the end of the discussion, the host asked Wasserman which sport has the biggest potential over the next 10 years. The agent stated that soccer, despite being the most popular sport in the world, can still experience significant growth. This is mostly due to the massive market here in America.

“Just as the NFL has done a really good job taking their games overseas I think you are going to see European professional games being played in the United States,” proclaimed Wasserman. “It is the biggest sport in the world and this is the biggest sports market in the world.”

“Look at what Messi playing for MLS is doing for MLS, its stunning. But if you had a Manchester United-Chelsea match in New York or a Real Madrid and Barcelona in Miami, those levels of games in American cities, real games that count could be massive. I would be shocked if it didn’t happen.”

Casey Wasserman is the head of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics and founder of the Wasserman (sports and entertainment agency). The agency represents some of the sport’s biggest stars including the Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta.

There have been hints of professional European football matches taking place in the States for the last few years. Wasserman is certainly correct about leagues wanting to take advantage of the lucrative market here in America. However, such a decision will likely be met with a backlash from English fans.

Wasserman hinted that convincing the English fans will be the biggest challenge for Premier League officials. “The emotion around soccer, as you saw with the European Super League, is at a whole other level so they will have to work through those things,” continued the agent.
