How to watch today's Wrexham vs West Brom Championship game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Wrexham's start to life in the Championship has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, and the drama shows no signs of slowing as they gear up to host West Bromwich Albion at the Racecourse Ground this weekend. 

The Red Dragons kicked off the new campaign with a gut-punch of a defeat at St Mary’s, letting a 1-0 lead slip in the dying moments to fall 2-1 against recently relegated Southampton. Midweek brought more chaos — trailing 3-1 at home to Hull City in the cup, they were rescued by an Ollie Palmer double in the closing stages, forcing penalties, where they held their nerve to snatch progression. 

Over in the West Midlands, West Brom have entered a fresh chapter under new boss Ryan Mason. The Baggies started their league campaign on the right foot, edging Blackburn Rovers 1-0 thanks to a crisp 15th-minute finish from Northern Ireland midfielder Isaac Price.

Wrexham team news

Wrexham’s ambitious journey under co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney shows no signs of slowing. Fresh off three straight promotions, the Red Dragons now stand just one leap away from the glitz and glamour of the Premier League. The Hollywood duo had little interest in modest targets. Instead, their focus was clear: what would it take, financially, to storm into the top two and grab automatic promotion?

Backed by that bold vision, Wrexham have splashed the cash in style — over £10 million ($13.5m) spent on eight fresh faces for the first team. The marquee arrival? None other than former England defender Conor Coady, whose wealth of top-flight experience could prove priceless in guiding the club through their biggest challenge yet.

West Bromwich Albion team news

Form man Aune Heggebo is tipped to keep his place after netting against Derby and turning provider for Price's strike on opening day. Meanwhile, Josh Griffiths is expected to step in between the sticks after Joe Wildsmith's costly error against the Rams. Darnell Furlong and Nat Phillips are also in line to reclaim their starting spots, with Caleb Taylor and Alex Williams making way.

One absentee for the visitors will be Torbjorn Heggem, who is edging closer to the exit door at The Hawthorns, paving the way for George Campbell to slot into the backline.
