Chelsea and Wrexham will take the pitch inside Kenan Stadium Wednesday night in front of a sold-out crowd and a national television audience. The match may only be a friendly exhibition, but it will provide American fans a rare opportunity to see European soccer clubs play in the United States.

If you aren’t going to Kenan Stadium for the match, here’s how to follow along at home:

TV Schedule

Television coverage of the match will begin on ESPN at kickoff, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. As of today, Spectrum, DirecTV, Xfinity and Dish Network all carry ESPN.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available through the ESPN app, the ESPN+ streaming service or on ESPN.com. You will need to enter TV provider information to access this stream. Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPN.

YouTube TV prices at $73/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels.

Hulu TV also goes for $70/month and includes all of ESPN’s channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $40/month for the Orange package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
