The six invited Premier League teams (
Aston Villa,
Brentford,
Brighton & Hove Albion,
Chelsea,
Fulham and
Newcastle United) each played three matches, never facing the same opposition more than once. Teams were awarded three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. Following the conclusion of the tournament, the club with the most points was named the winner of the Premier League Summer Series. If multiple teams were tied on points, their position in the table was to be determined based on superior goal difference, then number of goals scored, and then results of head-to-head matches. == Venues ==
