Will Wrexham AFC be promoted to the Premier League before the start of the 2028/2029 season?

Wrexham to the Premier League by 2028?

Wrexham AFC, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has achieved rapid promotions. This prediction asks if they will reach the top tier, the Premier League, by the 2028/2029 season.

The Championship Bottleneck

The 'No' vote leads because the jump from the Championship (2nd tier) to the Premier League is the hardest in football. While Wrexham has financial power relative to the lower leagues, the Championship is filled with clubs benefiting from 'parachute payments' and wealthy owners. Competing for the top 3 spots requires a massive escalation in squad quality and budget. While the trajectory is positive, three years is a tight window to navigate the most competitive second division in the world.
