Wrexham begin their latest push for Premier League promotion with an away trip to Welsh rivals Cardiff City on the opening day of the 2026–27 Championship season.
The Red Dragons secured the best finish in club history last season, placing seventh in the division—just two points behind Hull City, who claimed the final playoff spot before going on to earn promotion to the top flight.
Wrexham expect a much more competitive Championship campaign this season, with Burnley, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers all likely to be among the strongest sides following their recent relegations from the Premier League.
Phil Parkinson’s team won’t have to wait long to see how challenging the season could be. After hosting Watford in their first home match, Wrexham face a demanding stretch of fixtures against Birmingham City, Millwall, Swansea City, Burnley, West Ham, and Southampton before the September international break.
The Red Dragons welcome Wolves to the Racecourse Ground in early November before traveling to Stoke City on Boxing Day. Wrexham will close out the season at home against Bristol City in what they hope will be another promotion celebration.
Live television selections will be made for certain Championship matches throughout the season. As a result, dates and kickoff times remain subject to change. All kickoff times listed are in Eastern Time (ET) and either British Summer Time (BST) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), depending on the time of year.
