After back-to-back-to-back promotions from the National League to the Championship, season five follows Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as their club looks to take on the Championship
Welcome to Wrexham has returned for a fifth season on Disney+, tracking the North Wales club as they take on the EFL Championship for the first time in more than 40 years. After becoming the first team in the top five tiers of English football to win three straight promotions, Wrexham faced their toughest test yet under owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2025/26 – their first season at this level since 1982.
It has been a true Hollywood story since the A-lister and Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor got involved in the club as they continue their meteoric rise through the Football League pyramid. Season five opens at the start of that campaign, following everyone from the Hollywood co-chairs to the supporters as they prepare for life in the second tier which is available to watch exclusive on Disney+.
After achieving back-to-back-to-back promotions, the series kicks off with the fairytale story of Wrexham possibly having a fighting chance of securing promotion to the Premier League. The series, available on Disney+ from £5.99 a month, charts the highs and lows of the 2025/26 season – from relegation worries and cup runs to promotion pushes and painful setbacks – as Phil Parkinson’s side chase the dream of reaching the Premier League.

It comes as JD Sports cuts the price of this season’s Wrexham kits, with discounts across both the home and away editions. As for Disney+, many Trustpilot reviews point to the platform’s “very good selection” as a key strength.
One reviewer wrote: “Very good selection, friendly support and easy to cancel if you need to. Very easy to navigate their site and the openness and transparency they show should be a model for others.”
Not everyone is as positive, though. Another customer said: “The content library is extensive and impressive. However, the streaming quality is inconsistent.”
A separate five-star review added: “Disney+ has consistently delivered high-quality streaming content, from classic Disney movies to new releases, along with a wealth of popular TV shows and original content. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to find and watch my favourite programs without any hassle.”
