Welcome to Wrexham Season 5: Release Date, Episode Guide and Where to Watch

Welcome to Wrexham Season 5 is ready to put Wrexham AFC’s biggest modern test on screen, and this time the Red Dragons are not merely chasing promotion glow. The Emmy-winning FX docuseries returns in May 2026, following Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac as the men’s team faces its first EFL Championship season since 1982, while the women’s side makes club history by capturing its first-ever Genero Adran Premier title.

The show has already traveled from non-League obscurity to the second tier of English football in three years, which sounds absurd until one remembers that Wrexham has made a habit of kicking disbelief into the stands. Season 5 will also arrive with extra confidence behind it, since FX has renewed Welcome to Wrexham for three more seasons, taking the series through Season 8 and into 2029 (per Deadline).

The series itself has earned serious industry approval too. Welcome to Wrexham has won multiple awards, which explains why FX has kept faith in the series.

Welcome to Wrexham Season 5: Is There Any Trailer?

Yes, the Welcome to Wrexham Season 5 trailer is out, and it sells belief, pressure, and the club’s push toward the Premier League. Set to I’m a Believer, it rewinds to October 2021, when Ryan Reynolds told reporters, “We’d be lying if it wasn’t Premier League or something like that.” People laughed then, but Mac’s answer was simple: “dream big.”

The trailer follows Wrexham’s climb from National League champions to the Championship, with only the Premier League left above them. The new league is called “cutthroat,” while Phil Parkinson must turn new signings into a “cohesive unit.” Reynolds admits the squad has fewer familiar faces, with Mac “reminding [him] to breathe.”

The key warning is clear: Wrexham could “lose its soul” if it forgets where it came from.
