Leeds United are ready to get their summer campaign properly underway as Daniel Farke’s side take on Wrexham in their first pre-season friendly in the United States.
The Whites have travelled across the Atlantic for an important training camp as they prepare for another Premier League season.
The trip will give Farke the chance to work with his squad in a different environment and also take a closer look at some of his players before the competitive action starts.
Wrexham will provide the first test of the trip, with the match taking place at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
For Leeds supporters, this will be an exciting chance to see the team back in action.
The match also gives fans an early opportunity to see how Farke could use his squad following a busy summer transfer window.

What time is Leeds United vs Wrexham?
The game is scheduled to take place on Saturday evening in Tampa.
Kick-off is set for 7.30 pm local time in Florida, which means Leeds fans watching from the UK will need to stay up late.
The match will begin at 12.30 am UK time on Sunday morning.
It is not the easiest time for supporters in Yorkshire, but there should be plenty of interest in the game.
Pre-season matches can often give fans a first look at new signings and young players who are hoping to make an impression.
Farke will also be looking at the fitness levels of his senior players as Leeds continue their preparations for the new campaign.
The Wrexham match is the first of three fixtures during the club’s American trip. Leeds will also face Liverpool and Sunderland, giving the manager a chance to test his squad against different levels of opposition.

Fans who already have access to the channel can follow the game there, with coverage starting ahead of the 12.30 am UK kick-off.

The match is expected to attract plenty of attention because it is the first game of Leeds’ American pre-season tour.
There will be a big focus on the team selection and whether Farke decides to give minutes to some of his newer players.
Pre-season is always a difficult time to judge a team. Results are not the most important thing, and managers often make a large number of changes. However, supporters will still be looking for positive signs.
They will want to see good fitness, strong movement and signs that the players are starting to understand what Farke wants from them.

A big test for Farke’s squad
The match against Wrexham is also an important part of Leeds’ preparations because the club have made changes to their squad.
Farke will want to use the American tour to build a strong group before the Premier League season begins.
The manager has to make decisions about his starting team, his formation and which players can make the step up when the pressure increases. The game against Wrexham will not decide Leeds’ season, but it can still provide some useful answers.
New signings will want to make a good first impression, while younger players will see the fixture as a chance to show that they deserve more opportunities.
For the supporters, it is simply a chance to see Leeds United back on the pitch.
The late kick-off time in the UK may make it a difficult watch for some fans, but with several viewing options available, there should be plenty of interest.
Leeds’ American adventure is about to begin, and Wrexham will be the first challenge. With Liverpool and Sunderland also waiting later in the trip, Farke has plenty of work ahead.
But first comes Wrexham, and Leeds fans will be hoping to see some early signs that their team is ready for another big Premier League campaign.
