All 'Welcome to Wrexham' Season 4's Biggest Moments

Welcome To Wrexham, FX’s little sports docuseries that could, returned to our screens for a triumphant fourth season this spring. The Emmy-winning show, focused on the quixotic quest of a historic Welsh football club to reclaim its lost glory, is now in the position of being an elder statesman (stateshow? Is that a thing?) of the genre. Wrexham AFC’s multi-year comeback runs on the twin engines of funding from stars Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Rob Mac (né McElhenney – he recently abbreviated his surname for simplicity) (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), and the laser focus on excellence shared by the players and the team’s supporters.

Reynolds and Mac hired a film crew to document the earliest days of their association with the team, way back in 2021, when they were courting Wrexham AFC’s Supporter Association with their interest in purchasing the club. Over the course of its four seasons so far, Welcome to Wrexham has garnered 12 Emmy nominations (and won 8), and the actors have developed deep, long-term relationships with players, front office staff, and fans. A fifth season has already been greenlit, and Mac is involved in Wrexham’s spiritual child, Necaxa, a forthcoming FX docuseries about a similarly storied but down-at-heel football club in Mexico benefiting from the involvement of an actor keen to invest in a team with potential (in this case, Eva Longoria).

Welcome to Wrexham’s fourth season broadly follows four arcs of varying duration and importance: the men’s team’s quest for a record-setting third consecutive promotion up the football leagues to the Championship League; Team Director Humphrey Ker’s training to run a marathon; the club’s continuing efforts to build a talent pipeline for both their women’s and men’s teams; and the economic and social impact of club on their home town. It’s a lot to get through in just eight episodes, so we’re just going to highlight the season’s biggest moments.
