Barcelona and Real Madrid will go head-to-head in Las Vegas as part of the inaugural ‘Soccer Champions Tour’ this summer.
El Clasico will be brought the USA for the pre-season tournament with the historic fixture set to be played in the 65,000-seater Allegiant Stadium on July 23rd.
Alongside Juventus and Club America, the Spanish sides will take part in the competition which involves a mini-tour of the US with games lined up in three different cities.
El Clasico is the first match-up of the inaugural tournament, with Madrid and Club America set to square off on July 26 at Oracle Park in San Francisco, followed by Barca and Juve at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas later that day.
Los Blancos will then wrap up the competition against Juventus on Saturday 30 July at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.
It’ll be the second Clasico played on America soil after the two sides met at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium in July 2017 as part of the International Champions Cup.

Barcelona ended up lifting the pre-season trophy that year after Lionel Messi, Ivan Rakitic and Gerard Pique helped inspire the Catalan side to a 3-2 win over their rivals.
The Catalan side announced further friendlies in America with Xavi’s side set to play against Inter Miami FC on 19 July and New York Red Bulls on 30 July.
The fixture will be just the third time in history that Madrid and Barcelona have met outside of Spain – with the first being in May 1982 as part of the Copa Presidente de la República in Venezuela.
Veteran midfielder Vicente del Bosque scored the only goal of the game in the third place play-off after both Spanish clubs had been eliminated in the previous round.
