Real Salt Lake is set to host English Championship side Burnley FC on July 15, 2026, at America First Field in Sandy. This will be the first English team to visit the Wasatch Front since Manchester United's arrival in July 2017. Burnley boasts significant ties to Real Salt Lake, with the Utah side's founder, David W. Checketts, currently serving on the Burnley FC board. Burnley chairman Alan Pace was the RSL president from May 2007 through April 2008. Former NFL star J.J. Watt is an investor in Burnley with his wife, former NWSL star Kealia Ohai, a native of Draper, Utah. The match will be the 35th international match on Utah soil, with RSL boasting 17 wins and seven draws against 10 losses against foreign opponents across various competitions. Real Salt Lake Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni's side will look to improve on its dominant 7-1-0 record at home this season before resuming its 2026 MLS regular season campaign following the World Cup. Following trips to LAFC, Portland Timbers FC, and St. Louis CITY SC, RSL will welcome a trio of Liga MX opponents to visit Sandy, Utah, for Phase One of Leagues Cup 2026.
