How much is Wrexham worth now?

Wrexham's value could rise to £150m following their promotion to the Championship, according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire.

That would represent a valuation increase of 7,400% since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club for around £2m in 2021.

At the time, the club were in the fifth-tier National League - but Saturday's 3-0 win over Charlton secured a third successive promotion.

It means they will start next season in the Championship - playing at that level for the first time since 1982 - with their eyes set on a Premier League spot.

According to Bloomberg, Wrexham were valued at around £100m in March 2025 before the club's latest financial figures were released and promotion was confirmed.

"I suspect promotion was factored into the original valuation to a degree, but with the brand connection to the owners and now being 46 games away from the Premier League, that could add on another 50% to the value," Maguire told BBC Sport.

"Ipswich were valued at £100m in February 2024 (before their promotion to the Premier League that May) so a good start to the season could push Wrexham above that by 50% or more due to the Ryan and Rob factor."

Reaching the second tier for only the second time in the club's history means access to more revenue.

TV payments will rise, and it is likely so too will the value of sponsorship deals.

Wrexham have also made appointments behind the scenes with the aim of increasing the club's financial power.

Michael Williamson, who has held roles with Inter Milan and DC United, was named the club's chief executive in May 2024.

And Kaleen Allyn became an executive director in January. She and her father Eric Allyn - whose entrepreneurial family sold the Welch Allyn medical diagnostic business for more than $2bn in 2015 - have become minority shareholders with a stake thought to be between 10-15%.

The US TV-produced documentary Welcome To Wrexham has played a major part in raising the club's global profile since it began in 2022.

Wrexham do not earn money directly from the show but its popularity has been significant in helping improving club revenue streams.

And there is no sign of the global interest waning, with McElhenney being vocal about wanting to increase the scope to sell Wrexham shirts in the USA - as the club have had more matches screened there than any other EFL side.

Wrexham's revenue for the 2023-24 financial year stood at £26.7m, when they were in League Two - a 155% rise from the previous year's £10.5m, which the club believe is a record for a League Two side.

Before the Hollywood takeover, Wrexham's non-league revenue was recorded at £1.148m.

As with any club, the biggest outgoing was wages - of £11m - which explains why Wrexham still posted a loss of £2.72m, albeit lower than the previous year's £5.11m.

Next year's accounts will measure their League One campaign, during which the club's transfer record has been broken on a number of occasions and the wage bill has risen.

Competing in the Championship would almost certainly mean spending more on the squad - and there is also the cost of ground development to factor in: The club are planning to build a new stand at the Kop end of their Stok Cae Ras home next season, and capacity will be limited while construction takes place.

So there will be challenges ahead. But the Wrexham buzz - and upward financial trend - is showing little signs of slowing.
