Kiwis will be able to watch AFC Wrexham's upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand for free.
The tour kicks off on Friday, July 11, when the Welsh club owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney takes the field against A-League runners-up Melbourne Victory.
On Saturday, July 19, the team will play their last match of the tour in Wellington against the Phoenix at Sky Stadium.
TVNZ announced today it had partnered with TEG Sport, meaning Kiwis would be able to watch the entire Wrexham tour live and free.
The Phoenix hosting Wrexham will be aired live and free on TVNZ+ and TVNZ 2.
Wrexham's games against Victory and Sydney FC on Tuesday, July 15, would be streamed on TVNZ+ and aired on TVNZ Duke.
Alongside the Wrexham tour, Kiwis would also be able to watch Singapore and Hong Kong’s Festival of Football for free on TVNZ+ and TVNZ DUKE. Clubs scheduled to play included England's Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Italy's AC Milan.
"We’re excited to deliver seven blockbuster match-ups across four countries, showcasing nine top-tier clubs from some of the world’s biggest leagues," Rachael Carrol, managing director TEG Sport, said
"While not everyone can experience them live, it’s fantastic that fans in New Zealand can catch all the action free on TVNZ. It’s set to be a huge winter of football, and we’re proud to bring these games home to local supporters."
