Wrexham standings, schedule 2026: Championship position, next match as Ryan Reynolds club chases Premier League promotion


After three successive promotions, Wrexham are in pursuit of their ultimate goal under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Phil Parkinson’s side secured automatic promotion from League Two and League One on the back of their return to the Football League in 2023.

That put them in the Championship, the second tier of the English football pyramid. 

Automatic promotion appears out of the question for the North Wales outfit this time around, but they are firmly in the hunt for a place in the end-of-season playoffs as we reach the business end of the campaign.
