A Transatlantic Friendly
Liverpool will face Wrexham in a club friendly at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. ET, marking the first meeting between the two sides since 2007 and drawing attention from fans across both countries.
The match will be shown live on ESPN in the United States, while viewers can also stream it through DIRECTV and the fuboTV platform, ensuring broad access for a global audience.
Behind the scenes, Liverpool’s ownership group, Fenwick Sports Group, is deep in talks with a consortium of Indian investors that includes the prominent steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal’s family, a deal that could value the club at more than $6 billion.
Amit Bhatia, who is married to a daughter of Lakshmi Mittal, is a key figure in that consortium; he recently stepped away from his co‑ownership of Queens Park Rangers, signaling a focused push toward the Liverpool investment.
Under the leadership of John Henry and the Fenwick Sports Group, Liverpool has captured English championships in 2020 and 2023, added a record‑tying 20 league titles to its history, and secured a sixth European crown in 2019, while also reaching two other finals under Jürgen Klopp.
The upcoming friendly therefore serves as both a celebration of Liverpool’s storied past and a preview of the club’s future ambitions, as supporters eagerly await the first glimpse of the team under its new potential ownership landscape.
