The English sides will head Stateside to begin preparations for the 2024-25 season, <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40173644/arsenal-chelsea-usa-preseason-tour-nwsl-gotham-washington-spirit" target="_blank">ESPN</a> reports. As well as playing a friendly against each other in Washington D.C, the London clubs will take on NWSL teams as part of their tours.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The report says that Arsenal will take on Washington Spirit in an August friendly, while WSL champions Chelsea will play the new NWSL winners NJ/NY Gotham FC. Not only is this the first such high-profile tour for the two WSL sides, it will also be the first time English women's teams will take on their American counterparts.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chelsea and Arsenal will be hoping to take full advantage of their pre-season preparations. The Blues are preparing for their first season without legendary manager Emma Hayes, who has left to take over the USWNT. Meanwhile, the Gunners are aiming to unseat their London rivals by beating them to the WSL title next season.

Despite just finishing their WSL season at the weekend, Arsenal are set to play a post-campaign friendly against the Australian A League Allstars on Friday. Chelsea, meanwhile, will celebrate their latest title win after sealing the trophy on goal difference with a 6-0 win against Manchester United on Saturday.
