The journey of Wrexham A.F.C. from soccer also-ran to a club with fans all over the world has also seen the team jump 3 divisions in just three years. That whole journey, led by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhinney, has been documented on the critically acclaimed and insanely popular docuseries Welcome to Wrexham. Season 5 of the show kicks off this week on FX and streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
The stakes keep getting higher, too, as this season the Dragons are competing in the EFL Championship, the second tier of the English football pyramid, gunning for promotion to the top of the mountain. Three teams will move up, will Wrexham be one of them? Here's how to tune in and find out.

What's At Stake For Wrexham A.F.C.?
When Reynolds and Rob Mac bought Wrexham in 2020, the storied club had been mired in poor finances and even worse performances on the pitch. With the success of the show, the team has advanced through the ranks of the English football pyramid at a breakneck pace and is now on the cusp of reaching all the way to the top.
If you're unfamiliar with how promotion from the EFL Championship works, it's fairly straightforward. Three teams will be promoted, including the teams that finish in first and second place. The third team is determined with a playoff between the next four teams in the table. To move up, Wrexham must do it in one of those two ways.
The EFL is truly the big time. It's a level of football that Wrexham fans have not experienced in more than two decades (and only fleetingly across its whole history). The team has never played in the top division. So the stakes are high in Season 5.
