Heading to Florida for the first time, the Hammers will kick off the Cup against Wolves at the EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville on Saturday, July 27, with kick-off at 7pm local time (midnight in UK).

Wolves and Crystal Palace face off the following Wednesday at the Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, in Annapolis, kicking off at the same time.
