Your Guide to International Friendly Soccer Matches in 2027

International friendly matches are exhibition games between national soccer teams played outside of official tournament competition. In the United States, these friendlies have become massive events, drawing tens of thousands of fans to NFL stadiums and MLS venues to watch the world's best players represent their countries. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup having just been hosted in North America, the appetite for international soccer in the US has never been higher.

The 2027 international friendly schedule features matchups across the country, giving fans in multiple cities the chance to see top national teams in action. These events are often organized by promoters like Soccer United Marketing or directly by national federations, with venues ranging from 20,000-seat MLS stadiums to 70,000+ seat NFL venues. The matchups frequently feature Latin American, European, and African powerhouses — think Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, England, Germany, and more.

For the US Men's National Team (USMNT) and US Women's National Team (USWNT), friendlies serve as preparation for upcoming tournaments and a chance to test new players and tactics. For visiting teams, US-based friendlies provide an opportunity to play in world-class facilities in front of large, passionate diaspora communities. It's a win-win for everyone — especially the fans.

Tickets for international friendlies are typically sold through Ticketmaster, the host venue's box office, and the organizing federation's website. For sold-out matches or premium seats, BigStub is a trusted resale marketplace with over 20 years in the business and the highest Trustpilot rating in the ticket industry.
