Wrexham will return to the United States in the summer after announcing another pre-season friendly with Chelsea in California.

The match will be held at Levi's Stadium, home of Super Bowl runners-up the San Francisco 49ers, in Santa Clara on Wednesday, 24 July.

Wrexham will play two other games on the trip, with details to follow.

The League Two club toured the US last year, facing the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

Wrexham enjoy strong American support thanks to their film-star owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - who bought the Welsh club in 2021 - and the documentary series Welcome to Wrexham.

"It is great to be playing Wrexham once again, following the success of last year's encounter in Chapel Hill," said Chelsea chief executive officer Chris Jurasek.

"We look forward to playing in front of our loyal supporters based in California at the Levi's Stadium, which is sure to create a wonderful atmosphere."

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said: "We're looking forward to returning to the United States for our summer tour, and the match against Chelsea promises to be an exciting and memorable occasion - as well as an important part of our pre-season preparations.

"It was a great privilege to meet fans in the US last summer, and we're excited to see more of our passionate supporters in San Francisco in July."
