Football fans can tune into the pre-season friendly between Leeds United and Wrexham, scheduled for Sunday, July 26, 2026. This early morning match marks the beginning of Leeds United’s pre-season campaign as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season. The game will be held in the United States as part of an international tour.
Match Details and Kick-off Time
The friendly fixture between Leeds United and Wrexham is set to kick off at 12:30 AM UK time. The match will be played at the Raymond James Stadium located in Tampa, Florida. This encounter is one of several pre-season games Leeds United will play as they build up to their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest on August 22.
Leeds United’s Pre-Season Preparations
Leeds United are embarking on a tour of the United States as part of their extensive pre-season schedule. Manager Daniel Farke will be looking to integrate new signings and fine-tune tactics ahead of the demanding Premier League season. Last season, Leeds secured a 14th-place finish in the Premier League, finishing five points above the relegation zone. This campaign, the club aims to build on that performance and establish a stronger presence in the top half of the table. Their pre-season tour will also include matches against Sunderland and Liverpool, alongside the Wrexham fixture, contributing to a total of six friendly games this summer.
Wrexham’s Recent Form and Expectations
Wrexham, managed by Phil Parkinson, have already commenced their pre-season activities. The Welsh club recently secured a notable 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Helsinki. Last season, Wrexham narrowly missed out on a Championship play-off spot, finishing seventh and just two points adrift of the top six. The team is gearing up for their season opener in the EFL Cup, facing Middlesbrough in the first round in early August. This friendly against Leeds United provides another valuable test as they prepare for the challenges of the upcoming season.
