Wrexham's 2026 Preseason Tour: Everything You Need to Know About Dates, Fixtures, Tickets, and Where to Watch

Wrexham's 2026 Preseason Tour: Everything You Need to Know About Dates, Fixtures, Tickets, and Where to Watch

Wrexham will kick off its preseason schedule next month as the club gears up for the 2026–27 season and another bid for promotion to the Premier League.

The Red Dragons had an impressive return to the Championship last season, achieving the best league finish in the club's history with a seventh-place standing. Wrexham ended the campaign just two points adrift of Hull City in the battle for the final playoff berth, narrowly missing out on the opportunity to compete for a Premier League spot.

The Championship is expected to be even more fiercely contested next season. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley and West Ham United will all benefit from parachute payments following their drop from the top flight. Middlesbrough, Millwall and Southampton are also expected to be among the promotion hopefuls after falling short last season, while Birmingham City are anticipated to spend heavily once again this summer.

Manager Phil Parkinson will be eager for his squad to make a strong start following a productive preseason. Here's a breakdown of Wrexham's confirmed summer schedule.
