Wrexham’s fight for a place in the Premier League moves to Oxford on Tuesday, April 21.
The Red Dragons kept their promotion hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Stoke City on Saturday, maintaining their spot in seventh place.
Now Phil Parkinson’s side will face relegation-threatened Oxford United with another three points needed.
There are three matches left in the season as Wrexham looks to complete a stunning rise from the fifth-tier National League to England’s top division.
Actors Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds purchased Wrexham in late 2020, and since then the team has gained worldwide notoriety through the FX series “Welcome to Wrexham.”
Here’s the team’s history since the Hollywood takeover:
- 2020-21: 8th place, National League
- 2021-22: 2nd place, National League (lost playoff to Grimsby Town)
- 2022-23: 1st place, National League (promoted to League Two)
- 2023-24: 2nd place, League Two (promoted to League One)
- 2024-25: 2nd place, League One (promoted to EFL Championship)
Now Wrexham is hoping to achieve the dream of making the English Premier League. Here’s where the Red Dragons currently stand:
