Championship Fixtures
Season Opener and Early Fixtures
Wrexham begins its Championship campaign on 9 August 2025 with an away match against Southampton. Just a week later, the team returns to the Racecourse Ground to face West Bromwich Albion on 16 August 2025. The opening stretch is relentless.
Early opponents include:
Sheffield Wednesday (Home)
Derby County (Home)
