Leeds United and Wrexham meet in a pre-season friendly at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, July 25, with kick-off set for 7:30 p.m. U.S. ET. The game is available on Premier Sports 2, iPlayer, S4C Online, LUTV and Wrexham AFC Live.
For Leeds, this is another step in a summer that has already brought Harry Wilson in on a free transfer from Fulham and left Daniel Farke weighing his goalkeeper options. Leeds are interested in Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, but for now Lucas Perri and Alex Cairns are the only senior options named, with Perri likely to start against Wrexham.
The timing matters because supporters in more than one time zone are looking for the same fixture in different slots. The game starts at 12:30 a.m. UK BST on Sunday, July 26, at 5 p.m. India IST and at 9.30 a.m. Australia AEST, making it one of the more accessible transatlantic pre-season games of the summer.
Wrexham arrive with more momentum on the pitch. They beat Manchester United in Helsinki in an earlier pre-season game, and Phil Parkinson is set to travel with Ben Sheaf, Josh Windass and Liberto Cacace in the US. But the win came with a cost: Ryan Hardie picked up an injury after that match, and Elliot Lee was hurt as well, with Parkinson saying he is hopeful neither issue is serious.
That is the only real cloud over a trip that otherwise offers Wrexham another high-profile check of where they stand after promotion to the Championship. Leeds finished last season in 14th place with 47 points from 38 games, while Wrexham come into the tour after their rise and a seventh-place finish in the 2025-26 season, when they narrowly missed the promotion playoffs on the final day in May.
After Tampa, both sides are set to continue their pre-season tour of the United States of America with Sunderland and Liverpool still to come. For Leeds, the contest is also a chance to settle on the shape of a side that is still being rebuilt. For Wrexham, it is a test of whether the energy from Helsinki can survive the travel, the injuries and the step up that follows this trip.
