The concept of a Premier League 'Game 39' long predates current CEO Richard Masters.

Following the lead of the NBA and NFL, the Premier League would take its product abroad, aiming to tap into new markets and give something special to existing overseas fans.

Liverpool has one of the biggest followings in the USA — the likeliest initial venue for any match taken outside the UK — and would be sure to sell out its tickets instantly.

But aside from the immediate reaction against taking Premier League games abroad, there are a number of logistical challenges too.

So where does the league currently stand on the idea?

"It is not part of our current plans."

Of course, if another major league were to take that step and see major success, the Premier League may well be tempted to follow.

Liverpool supporters will get another chance to see their team this summer, with the tour taking place in America for the first time since 2019.

A change in FIFA rules would certainly put Premier League games in the USA back on the agenda for discussion.
