It is not underselling it to describe the upcoming game as the most important of the season, and we can tell you how to watch Wrexham vs Birmingham as the League One giants go head to head.
2025 has not been a great year for Wrexham so far, with the Red Dragons falling to disappointing defeats away at Barnsley and more recently, local rivals Shrewsbury Town.
Suffice to say, Phil Parkinson’s men need to pull a big performance out of the bag against Birmingham, and that’s before even considering just what is at stake in this top of the table clash.
It’s being billed as a coming together of two of the most high-profile, celebrity-run clubs in the Football League, and you can make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action as we rundown how to watch Wrexham vs Birmingham, and which players may or may not be involved.

Wrexham team news ahead of title race six-pointer
To be honest, the Wrexham squad is looking to be in really good shape going into the game, with only a handful of injuries still troubling Phil Parkinson.
Last week, we saw Elliot Lee and Jack Marriott return to action after spells on the sidelines, while Ryan Barnett was also fully fit and back in the lineup.
Lewis Brunt is still unlikely to feature, though, meaning Parkinson will have some decisions to make in defence after his side’s sloppy showing against Shrewsbury.
It was also revealed just this morning that one unnamed Wrexham player was involved in a car crash, but he did report to the club afterwards for medical assessment, which is a positive sign.
