Wrexham’s Epic Championship Return Sparks Welsh Football Revival
It’s a moment that Wrexham fans have dreamt about for over four decades — and now, it’s finally happening. After 43 years away from English football’s second tier, Wrexham are back in the Championship, and their return couldn’t be scripted any better.
Their first fixture? A massive away clash against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday, August 9. That’s right — a club that was four divisions above Wrexham just a few years ago will now share the same pitch as equals. It’s a powerful reminder of how far this North Wales side has come since the Hollywood-led takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
And that’s just the beginning. The first ten games include big names like West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City, Norwich, and Derby County — all former Premier League sides. Wrexham fans will be pinching themselves as the club, once trapped in non-league football, now goes toe-to-toe with some of English football’s most storied names.

One of the most exciting parts of the fixture list is the rekindling of Welsh rivalries. With Cardiff City now in League One, the title of “Wales’ top club” will be fought between Wrexham and Swansea City. Mark your calendars: Wrexham head to Swansea on December 20 in what promises to be a heated derby, before the return leg at the Racecourse Ground on March 14.
Festive fixtures also pack a punch — Sheffield United visit Wrexham on Boxing Day, with Preston North End following three days later, and a New Year’s Day trip to Blackburn Rovers topping it off. Fans will need stamina and scarves for that winter stretch.
Easter weekend is another headline-grabber. Wrexham travel to West Brom on Good Friday before welcoming Southampton to North Wales on Easter Monday. The season concludes on May 2 at home against Middlesbrough, capping off what promises to be a rollercoaster journey.
This isn’t just a schedule — it’s a statement. Wrexham are not here to make up the numbers. They’re in the mix with heavyweights, riding a wave of momentum and belief that started with a dream and a Netflix series and has now taken the shape of real-world ambition.
If you had said just a few years ago that Wrexham would be battling Birmingham City, Sheffield United, and Leicester in the Championship, many would’ve laughed. But here we are. This is more than football — it’s history being written in real time. Buckle up. The Red Dragons are roaring, and the Championship better be ready.
