The official start dates for the 2025/26 Championship and League One seasons have been confirmed by the EFL.

At this stage, it remains to be seen which division Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham will actually be playing in.

After drawing with Cambridge United last time out, the Welsh outfit go into the latest round of League One fixture sat in second place.

However, there is still a lot to play for and automatic promotion to the Championship is by no means guaranteed.

Wycombe Wanderers have a game in hand, a better goal difference, and are just three points behind Phil Parkinson’s team.

However, going into their meeting with Burton Albion on Saturday lunchtime, Wrexham are predicted to finish second in League One.
