The trend of Americans investing in soccer abroad has become more popular these days, particularly in terms of their effect on the Premier League. The eight EPL franchises, which include superstars like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, are either entirely or partially owned by American investors. In comparison to those with large pockets, small stakes are being bought by Americans with an eye on growing the league and the game at home. LeBron James has been an investor in Fenway Sports Group and has a majority interest in Liverpool. J.J. Watt and his family recently announced the purchase of a minority stake in Burnley.

The American influence in English football has never been greater. Four of the top six Premier League clubs are owned by the United States. Fulham and the majority of Crystal Palace are among Aston Villa's component and almost half of Leeds. Major League Soccer (MLS) is thriving, and the United States will co-host the next World Cup in 2026, and after losing to qualify four years ago, they returned to the biggest stage against Wales on Monday. It's England this week.
