Wrexham face Liverpool at Yankee Stadium five years after fifth-tier takeover

Wrexham play Liverpool at Yankee Stadium on July 29, 2026 — five years after Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought a club then stuck in the National League, England's fifth tier. Three consecutive promotions have carried Wrexham to the Championship. Co-owner Reynolds called the fixture a "punch-me moment." Manager Phil Parkinson targets a Premier League match at Anfield in 2027-28.
