GOAL breaks down expectations for U.S. Internationals ahead of the upcoming European season, with a look at England’s top flight
In more ways than one, the Premier League remains the pinnacle of soccer. It’s the league with the most eyeballs, the most money and the most prestige. There are superclubs in other countries, but England’s top flight remains a superleague, loaded with some of the biggest clubs in the world.
That’s why, for many players born outside of England, the Premier League remains the dream destination. It’s been like that for Americans for some time and, ahead of the 2025-26 season, there’s no shortage of U.S. men’s national team presence.
From trophy winners to promoted returnees, several top U.S. internationals will have points to prove in the Premier League this season, especially with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon and USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino paying close attention.
Ahead the European season, GOAL takes a closer look at the expectations for Americans Abroad. First up: the Premier League.
