Premier League teams headline Winter Festival of Football

Manchester United are in Australia preparing for the first of two games at the MCG. They are one of four English Premier League teams set to play in Australian stadiums this July. See what’s coming up, get tickets and see streaming info.

There will be seven matches played around Australia involving Leeds United, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Manchester United, with local A-League teams Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory also involved.

Queensland

The action kicks-off on the Gold Coast Thursday night with Leeds United taking on the Brisbane Roar at Cbus Super Stadium, as part of the Queensland Champions Cup. The proud Yorkshire club attracts passionate fans wherever they play around the world and their three games on tour in Australia this year will be no different.

Then on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium, it’s Aston Villa v Leeds United in a blockbuster afternoon fixture kicking-off at 2:35pm and a big crowd is expected.

The action then moves up to Townsville where Queensland Country Bank Stadium hosts Aston Villa v Brisbane Roar in the final match of the series. See below for ticket links and more.

Melbourne

The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground hosts two big matches involving the Red Devils. First up this Friday night, Manchester United takes on Melbourne Victory. While there’s no Cristiano Ronaldo, there’s still plenty of star power, and Victory have also just announced the signing of former United star Nani, who’s likely to get some game time.

On Tuesday night, the MCG will play host to the all-English match-up between Manchester United and Crystal Palace, before both teams head west.

Perth

The spectacular Optus Stadium in the Western Australian capital will stage two matches, firstly on Friday 22 July, it’s Crystal Palace v Leeds United, and on Saturday, Manchester United face Aston Villa.
