English Premier League build-up: Liverpool to face Wrexham at Yankee Stadium as four-club U.S. tour is revealed

Liverpool will meet Wrexham in a preseason match at Yankee Stadium in July, a headline fixture in a U. S. tour that includes Leeds and Sunderland and carries implications for the English Premier League season build-up. The series is designed to expand club exposure in the U. S. market while serving as match preparation ahead of next season.

English Premier League angle: Wrexham’s promotion push and U. S. exposure

Wrexham, owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, will travel to the United States for a multi-game preseason run that will include the match at Yankee Stadium. The club has previously toured the U. S., making trips in 2023 and 2024, and is pursuing both commercial growth in the U. S. and competitive preparation as it aims for the 2026/27 campaign. Wrexham may even travel to the U. S. as a Premier League club, having enjoyed an excellent return to England's second tier; the team currently sits in sixth place in the Championship and has been propelled by a recent three-game winning streak.

U. S. tour schedule and match locations

The preseason series will stage matches across several American cities. Wrexham's opening match on the tour is scheduled against Leeds at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium on July 25. The showpiece meeting with Liverpool at Yankee Stadium follows four days later, and Wrexham will close the U. S. portion of the trip with a game against Sunderland at Subaru Park on August 2.

Liverpool’s U. S. itinerary will overlap with Wrexham’s tour. Liverpool will play Sunderland at GEODIS Park in Nashville on July 25 and will conclude their run against Leeds at Soldier Field in Chicago on August 2. The Liverpool–Wrexham meeting at Yankee Stadium will mark Wrexham's first match at that venue.

Why the U. S. series matters for clubs and supporters

The tour mixes competitive preparation with market growth. For Wrexham, previous U. S. trips produced headline results, including a victory over Manchester United in 2023 and a closely contested match against Chelsea in 2024 that finished level after a late equaliser. The upcoming fixtures give the club another opportunity to engage fans in the U. S. while testing form against established opponents.

Liverpool’s inclusion and the match at a landmark venue such as Yankee Stadium elevate the profile of the series. For supporters, the schedule offers multiple chances to see Premier-level opponents and ambitious lower-tier clubs in high-profile U. S. settings. For Wrexham, the tour is explicitly framed as part of pre-season preparations that will play a key role in readiness for the 2026/27 campaign.

Manager Phil Parkinson expressed anticipation about returning to the U. S. and facing quality opponents as part of preparations for the coming season. The club’s ownership and public profile are set to draw additional attention: Wrexham is owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, and the tour includes stops in cities with strong soccer followings.

Details remain fixed to the announced schedule, with the series spanning late July into early August and serving as a concentrated block of preseason fixtures for the teams involved. Recent updates indicate the plan is in place; further changes to venues or dates may evolve as the tour approaches.
