Welcome to Wrexham Season 5: Where will Wrexham finish in the latest series of the show?
It has been confirmed that the award-winning sports documentary show Welcome to Wrexham has been recommissioned for a fifth series alongside a spin-off show which will put the spotlight on their partner football club, Nacaxa in Mexico.

It has resulted in a significant increase in retail sales at the club, with Wrexham’s social media accounts and online presence also enjoying far more traction as a consequence. The franchise have become a global brand and have attracted supporters from all over the globe, although many of the new fans are based in the USA.

Why is the documentary choosing to follow Wrexham?
Welcome to Wrexham was created by Disney following the takeover of hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Prior to their arrival, the historic club, which is located in a working-class town in North Wales, had been stuck in the fifth tier of the English football pyramid for over a decade and the team’s future was looking fairly perilous, particularly financially.
Part of the documentary’s charm is the unlikely marriage between Hollywood and North Wales with the first season focusing on the potential new owner’s bid to win approval from the club’s Supporter’s Trust.
Having missed out on the play-offs under previous manager Dean Keates, the series also highlighted the arrival of new manager Phil Parkinson and a significant churn in playing staff.
More Recent Series
Having seen their attendance swell as a result of the documentary, the club have recently recorded their biggest attendance in over 44 years and those numbers look set to increase in the second tier.
As well as covering back-to-back promotions, the series also focuses on the club’s journey to the EFL Trophy final at Wembley.
The fourth series of the documentary was released on May 16th, 2025 and followed the club’s bid for promotion from League One, the third tier. Covering a dramatic battle for second place with promotion hanging in the balance before being secured in the final couple of weeks of the season.
The eight episodes cover a range of emotions, culminating in unrelenting joy with the club managing to secure promotion to the Championship. One of the most notable aspects of this show, alongside the narrative, is the range of emotions covered, including several scenes which highlight what the recent success of the club means to the long-serving supporters, hard-working club staff and down-at-heel locals.

With Series 5 having been renewed, fans of the show can look forward to yet another rollercoaster campaign following one of the world’s oldest professional football clubs. They will find themselves competing in the second tier next season alongside Tom Brady’s Birmingham City and recently relegated Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester. Viewers will get an insight into how the club will cope with the step up in quality and how the new signings, including striker Ryan Hardie, are able to settle into their new surroundings.
The narrative of this series will be ultimately decided by the club’s performance on the pitch and with the season set to get underway at the beginning of August, fans are starting to get excited about the prospect of the club testing themselves against several former Premier League teams including Middlesbrough, Coventry, Sheffield United and Stoke.
Wrexham are seeking a fourth successive promotion and although it will be a much tougher assignment, viewers will be hoping that the team’s incredible story continues during the fifth season.
