Tue Apr 01 19:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Wrexham’s Record Revenue Highlights Stunning Rise, But Premier League Dream Faces Steep Climb
**Wrexham, Wales –** Wrexham AFC, the Welsh football club catapulted to global fame by Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has reported record-breaking financial results for its first year back in the English Football League (EFL). The club’s annual report, released Monday, revealed a staggering £26.7 million ($34.5 million) in revenue – a 155% increase year-on-year.
This phenomenal growth is attributed in part to the massive international interest generated by the Disney+ documentary series, “Welcome to Wrexham.” Over half (52.1%) of the club’s revenue now comes from outside the UK, predominantly North America, highlighting the show’s global impact. Commercial revenue soared to nearly £13.2 million, a significant jump from £1.9 million the previous year, while matchday revenue also saw a substantial increase.
Currently sitting second in League Two, Wrexham is on track for promotion to League One, and potentially beyond. However, football analyst Mark Ogden cautions that reaching the Premier League would present a significant challenge, even with the club’s impressive financial success. The club’s remarkable turnaround, including the women’s team’s advancements to the FAW Cup Final and the Championship phase of their league, underscores a bright future, but the path to the top tier remains arduous.
