It's that time of year again. The time when we're left absolutely stunned by the wizardry of some 20-year-old at Real Madrid or Manchester United who's been handed his first serious minutes on a scorching July night at MetLife Stadium, so we write articles about how 2023-24 is going to be his oyster and then we never see him again.
You don't want to miss it, so here's a complete TV guide for summer soccer friendlies 2023 in the USA and Mexico.
I can't remember a more packed summer schedule with the Premier League and LaLiga concentrating their marketing efforts on the States, and we've also got the likes of Juventus, Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Lyon around.
You'd be worried about the domestic game getting drowned out over the next few weeks but Lionel Messi solves everything.
