National League winners Wrexham will face Chelsea, LA Galaxy and Manchester United in July in the United States.

The Welsh side, who will play in League Two next season, face Chelsea on 19 July at Chapel Hill, North Carolina as part of the 2023 FC Series.

Three days later they face Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park in California.

And they finish off the trip against Manchester United at Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego on 25 July.

After a 15-year absence from the EFL, Wrexham secured the National League title and promotion against Boreham Wood on 22 April.

Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney watched on as they were crowned champions, a feat they will celebrate with a bus parade on 2 May.

They finished off the campaign with a 1-1 draw away at Torquay United, and will now use the summer trip to the United States to prepare for their new campaign.

The north Wales club are also planning one more game on the trip, on 28 July.

Boss Phil Parkinson said: "We're looking forward to our US tour as we gear up for our return to the EFL.

"We've enjoyed meeting supporters who have travelled over from America to visit us this season, and it will be a fantastic occasion to play against American opposition in front of more of these new fans."
