The game kicks off at 8pm (BST) on Friday (August 7), with live coverage on both free‑to‑air and subscription television. For those with Sky subscriptions, the fixture is also live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with build‑up programmes listed from early evening on Sky’s schedules. If you’d prefer to watch with a crowd, Tŷ Pawb has confirmed it will be screening Middlesbrough v Wrexham on the big screen in its city‑centre venue, adding the tie to its growing list of fan‑zone style football events. Elsewhere in the city centre, Vault 33 on High Street has advertised the match live at the bar, with several posts on social media promoting Middlesbrough v Wrexham – Friday 7th, KO 8pm, live at Vault33 alongside its usual cocktails and music. With televised coverage across ITV and Sky, plus confirmed screenings at Tŷ Pawb and Vault 33, Wrexham supporters should have no trouble finding a way to watch as the new campaign kicks off in the North East.
