Welcome to Wrexham: Streaming Info

The documentary has captured Wrexham's journey since the takeover by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2021, chronicling the club's rise from the National League all the way to the Championship.

After becoming the first team in the history of English football's top five divisions to achieve three successive promotions, Wrexham faced their biggest challenge of the Reynolds and McElhenney era in 2025/26 - their first season in the second tier since 1982.

Season 5 of Welcome to Wrexham begins at the start of that campaign, as everyone from the Hollywood owners to the fans build up to life in the Championship.

The documentary captures all of the ups and downs of the 2025/26 season, from relegation fears to promotion dreams and cup runs to painful defeats, as Phil Parkinson's side target a place in the Premier League.
