The upcoming 2025-26 season marks a significant milestone for Wrexham Football Club as they step into the Championship, just one tier below the prestigious Premier League. This achievement follows an extraordinary journey guided by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, along with head coach Phil Parkinson.
After a remarkable run of three consecutive promotions, Wrexham's ascent from a National League club to the brink of Premier League contention has captured the imagination of football fans worldwide. The club's success culminated in a record-breaking National League championship in 2022-23, followed by impressive finishes in League Two and League One.
Despite the optimism surrounding Wrexham's future, co-owner Rob McElhenney, now known as Rob Mac, acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead in the Championship. The jump from League One to the Championship is daunting, with only a handful of clubs ever achieving immediate promotion to the Premier League.
While Reynolds and McElhenney's investment provided a competitive advantage in the lower divisions, the financial landscape and level of competition in the Championship pose a new set of obstacles for the Welsh club. Manager Phil Parkinson emphasized the significant disparities in salaries and resources between Wrexham and established Championship teams.
As Wrexham embarks on this new chapter in their Hollywood-inspired journey, the club and its supporters are bracing for a season filled with challenges and uncertainties. The 2025-26 campaign will test the resilience and determination of the Red Dragons as they strive to make their mark in the fiercely competitive Championship.
