The Premier League Fan Fest is heading to Philadelphia, as the entire Premier League Mornings Live team will be in Philly for what promises to be an incredible weekend.
Our latest Fan Fest will take place on October 15-16 in Dilworth Park and it is awesome to be in the City of Brotherly Love.
The huge Liverpool vs Manchester City clash takes center stage (Sunday, Oct. 16 at 11:30am ET), while on the same day in the other type of football the Philadelphia Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
It will be one heck of a party in Philly.

Premier League Fan Fest is coming to Philadelphia
This marks the first Fan Fest in the state of Pennsylvania and continues a period of huge celebration for soccer in Philly.
With the Philadelphia Union flying high atop the Major League Soccer standings, plus Philadelphia recently announced as one of the host cities for games at the men’s 2026 FIFA World Cup, the beauty of the beautiful game is spreading to every corner of Philly’s famous streets.

Philadelphia was supposed to be the site of our Fan Fest in March 2020 but was postponed due to COVID-19.
“Philly’s been waiting, and we wanted to use the best opportunities at the right moment to come back,” NBC Sports’ senior vice president of consumer engagement Lyndsay Signor told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “For all of the reasons that we landed on Philly for 2020 — the fandom the city, as the heart of so many professional sports — there was never a question.
Philly, you SHOWED OUT!

Just under 7,000 fans attended day 1 of our Fan Fest. Thank you to each and every one of you. 🙌 #MyPLMorning pic.twitter.com/mj5pD1iE5Q
“But I think when it started to get closer to Philadelphia hosting the World Cup, and looking at some opportunities to collaborate around Sunday Night Football … it felt like a really awesome time to fire up the Philly fan base again, and bring Fan Fest back and actually be able to execute it without COVID parameters in the way.”
Before 6am local time!
