Sunderland is set to benefit financially from a lucrative pre-season tour in the United States. The club, known as the Black Cats, will kick off their pre-season with a match against York City at the LNER Community Stadium on Saturday, 18 July. Following this, Sunderland will travel to Nashville, Tennessee, where they will face Liverpool on Saturday, 25 July. This tour is expected to generate significant revenue for the club, with estimates suggesting earnings between £1 million and £2.5 million. After Nashville, Sunderland will head to Harrison, New Jersey, to take on Leeds on Thursday, 30 July, before concluding their US tour against Wrexham in Chester, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, 2 August. The Black Cats will wrap up their pre-season with a match against RC Lens in France on Saturday, 8 August, and will then host Stade Rennais at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, 15 August. This pre-season tour not only provides Sunderland with a chance to prepare for the upcoming Championship season but also offers a valuable opportunity for financial growth.
