Fans of Wrexham will soon be able to catch their favorite team in action on ESPN+. The streaming service will air the Welsh side’s FA Cup second round game against Yeovil Town on Sunday, December 3rd. The upcoming fixture is set to start at 10:45AM (ET).

Wrexham qualified for the second round of the competition by beating Mansfield Town earlier this month. The Red Dragons topped their opponents 2-1 on the day thanks to goals by Sam Dalby and Paul Mullin. Yeovil, on the other hand, is set to face Wrexham after edging National League club Gateshead on the same day.

Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney helped Wrexham earn promotion to League Two back in April. The Welsh club made the move up to the English Football League (EFL) by winning the National League. It was the first time that they won a league title in 45 years. The championship also marked their return to the EFL after 15 years.

Wrexham endured some early growing pains during the current campaign in League Two. In fact, the club previously sat 16th in the table after winning just one of their first five league matches. However, they were able to settle and start their march back up the table. Wrexham is now currently second in the standings after only losing one game in their last 12 fixtures.
