Burnley have sealed a pre‑season friendly against Serie A outfit Torino for Sunday, 2 August at Turf Moor, marking the final warm‑up before the competitive season starts.

Who will Burnley face and when?

The Clarets will host Torino, known as ‘Il Toro’, at a kick‑off time yet to be announced. Torino finished 12th in Serie A last season under former Italy and AC Milan full‑back Ignazio Abate. Their squad includes striker Giovanni Simeone and Scottish forward Che Adams. The match follows a US tour that saw Burnley travel to face FC Cincinnati on 10 July, Columbus Crew on 12 July and Real Salt Lake on 15 July, before a trip to Amsterdam to meet Ajax on 26 July.

Why is the Torino friendly important?

Adding an Italian side to the schedule gives the Clarets a chance to test tactics against a different style of play ahead of a demanding season. It also offers fans a rare glimpse of top‑flight European opposition at Turf Moor. Ticket prices start at £15 for adult season‑ticket holders and £20 for non‑holders, with concessions at £10 and £15 respectively. The game will be the last pre‑season test before Burnley’s Carabao Cup tie against Notts County on 8 August.

How does this fit into Burnley’s current situation?

The club sits 19th in the Premier League with 22 points, a record of 4 wins, 10 draws and 24 losses from 38 games, and a recent form of D L D L L. They have scored 38 goals while conceding 75, leaving a –37 goal difference, and sit 63 points behind leaders Arsenal. Their last result was a 1‑1 draw with Wolves on 24 May 2026. The pre‑season fixtures aim to reverse that trend and build confidence before the league opener against West Ham on 16 August.

What’s next after Torino?

After the friendly, Burnley will turn their attention to the Carabao Cup tie with Notts County on 8 August. A win there would give a morale boost before the Championship (now Premier League) campaign kicks off against West Ham the following Sunday. Fans can expect a packed schedule, with the club hoping the US tour and European friendlies will sharpen the squad for the battles ahead.
