Historical League One Showdown Promises Immersive Reality Experience

League One matches don’t typically attract the same level of excitement as Premier League clashes, but that is about to change.

In a historic first for the English Football League, a League One game is going to be broadcast live on CBS Sports and COSM in the United States.

COSM, an innovative entertainment venue located in Los Angeles and Dallas, creates a shared experience for fans watching the game. While Premier League matches are commonly featured, this marks the first League One game to be aired.

League One clash between Birmingham and Wrexham set to make history

Birmingham City will head to the Racehorse Ground to face Wrexham on January 23, with the match kicking off at 8pm on a Thursday, and set to be broadcast on CBS Sports and COSM in the US.

Earlier this year, Wrexham and Birmingham expressed a desire to hold one of this season’s matches in the United States to capitalize on their expanding fan bases, but the EFL intervened to prevent it.

Wrexham is backed by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, while NFL superstar Tom Brady holds a stake in Birmingham.

This match could significantly impact the promotion battle in League One. Currently, Wycombe leads the table, with Birmingham in second place, and Wrexham closely trailing them in third.

However, there are still six league matches to play leading up to their encounter in mid-January, meaning there could be considerable shifts in form.

Birmingham triumphed 3-1 in their previous meeting at St Andrew’s earlier this season.

In eScored’s perspective, it’s remarkable to witness a League One match garner such attention in the US, regardless of the celebrity ownership involved. This should be seen as a positive development.
