Wrexham A.F.C. Hosts Burnley in an important EFL Championship fixture at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. The match kicks off at 2:45 p.m. EDT and will be shown live in the United States exclusively on Paramount+.
Phil Parkinson's side enters the game sitting 11th in the Championship table with six points from five matches, a record of one win, three draws, and one loss. Their recent form reads DWLDD, having scored six goals while conceding just four for a positive goal difference. They currently trail league leaders Swansea by five points. The club's injury list includes S. Revan, G. Thomason, N. Broadhead, L. Cacace, and B. Sheaf, who are all currently sidelined.
Manager Phil Parkinson is expected to field a strong side for the home clash. The official Wrexham A.F.C. Lineup is set to feature Patterson in goal. The defensive unit should consist of Cleworth, Hyam, and Doyle, with Kaboré and Ekomié likely operating as wing-backs. The midfield trio is anticipated to be James, Whiteman, and Windass, supporting attackers O’Brien and the focal point, Kieffer Moore.
Burnley, managed by Nicky Hayen, are expected to respond with their own key personnel. Their probable starting eleven includes Weiss between the posts. A back four of Walker, Ahmedhodžić, Ekdal, and Sonne is predicted. The midfield engine room could see Hatate, Hannibal, and Ramsey, while the attacking threat may come from Amdouni, Raghouber, and Ramazani.
Wrexham's campaign has been a mix of resilience and frustration. They suffered a defeat in their opening match but then played out back-to-back draws. Their first and only win of the season so far came against Millwall. A goalless draw against Swansea City in their previous outing means they have picked up four points from their last two matches, providing a platform to build upon. Fans can track the team's progress in the standings throughout the season.
In stark contrast, Burnley finds itself in a precarious position at the foot of the Championship table with just two points. Their season began with a win over Notts County in the EFL Cup, but they have failed to win any of their league matches since that opening victory. The arrival of former Premier League winner Jamie Vardy has yet to translate into improved results for the Clarets.
For viewers in the United States, the broadcast rights for this Championship encounter are held by Paramount+. The streaming service will provide exclusive live coverage of the match from the Racecourse Ground. Global Sports Writer Pragjyoti Singh of Athlon Sports confirmed the broadcast details, stating his role is "Global Sports Writer, Athlon Sports."
This match represents a significant opportunity for Wrexham to climb the table against a struggling opponent. The full squad will need to be at its best to secure three points. After this fixture, Wrexham A.F.C. Faces a quick turnaround with an away trip to face West Ham, who are 8th in the table, on September 11, 2026.
