Wrexham Aims for Promotion as Championship Race Intensifies With just five matches remaining in the EFL Championship season, Wrexham is in dire need of a win to keep pace in the race for promotion. After losing to Southampton in midweek, the Red Dragons face Birmingham on Sunday, seeking to close in on the top six. The team, owned by actors Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds since late 2020, has become a global phenomenon through the FX series "Welcome to Wrexham." Their journey from the fifth-tier National League to the Championship is a testament to their rapid rise. Wrexham’s ascent began with the Hollywood takeover, which sparked a remarkable transformation. Here’s a breakdown of their progression since 2020: 2020-21: Finished 8th in the National League. 2021-22: Secured 2nd place in the National League but lost the playoff to Grimsby Town. 2022-23: Claimed 1st place in the National League and earned promotion to League Two. 2023-24: Placed 2nd in League Two, advancing to League One. 2024-25: Finished 2nd in League One, securing a spot in the EFL Championship.
