Oldham Athletic’s match against Wrexham AFC will be broadcast stateside.
Wrexham’s previous match, where the Welsh side beat the Blyth Spartans 3-2 on Tuesday, October 18, was the first time a fourth-round FA cup match was televised in the US, on ESPN2.
Now, the team is set to face Latics on Sunday, November 6 with a 12.30pm kick-off at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground.
The match is due to be broadcast in the UK on ITV, with ESPN set to stream the fixture for US fans.
The last time the clubs faced off against each other was earlier this month, in the National League.
Footage taken from hours before the game appeared to show fans brawling in the street prior to the match, which was played at Oldham’s Boundary Park.

The match ended in a 2-1 defeat for the Latics.
ESPN confirmed the Latics would be streamed live to Americans on ESPN+, with a spokesperson adding: “This will be the third showing of Wrexham AFC matches on the platform in the United States.
“The previous two were the FA Cup 4th Round fixture and replay matches against Blyth Spartans.”
The Welsh club has a growing fanbase famous across the pond due to its owners - American actors Ryan Reynolds, of Deadpool fame, and Rob McElhenney, famous for his role as ‘Mac’ on the FX comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
The pair bought the club in 2020 in a £2 million takeover, with more than 98 per cent of Wrexham’s voting membership approving the deal.
The takeover is currently the subject of a documentary series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’, which follows the pair.
It currently streams on Disney+ in the UK and is set to come back for a second series.
