Is Wrexham v Cardiff on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Carabao Cup derby for free

Wrexham face Cardiff in the Carabao Cup in the sides’ first meeting in over two decades.

The Welsh clubs have been drawn against each other in the Carabao Cup fourth round, marking the first time the pair have faced off in this competition in 62 years - and the first tie in general since 2004.

While it may not exactly be called a derby the rivalry between the two sides runs deep, and Tuesday’s clash is not one to miss with a spot in the quarter-finals - a potential first for Wrexham since the 1977-78 season - at stake.

Championship side Wrexham dispatched Hull City, Preston North End and Reading to make the fourth round, while League One leaders Cardiff saw off Swindon Town, Cheltenham Town and top-flight side Burnley.

Here’s everything you need to know:
