Wrexham AFC CEO Michael Williamson added: “WREXHAM IN THE USA 2026 takes us back to the United States for the first time since 2024 and in the same year the FIFA World Cup is being held in the States. The tour provides a fantastic opportunity for our growing fan base, especially those living in the US, to follow the team in action across three high profile matches. It is exciting to be playing in Florida and New York for the first time, and of course to be returning to Philadelphia, our co-chairman Rob Mac’s home city. The fact that we are playing Leeds United, Liverpool and Sunderland, all teams currently playing in the Premier League, promises three great occasions on big stages, and we look forward to seeing and meeting our fans there.”
