How to watch Wrexham in 2023/24

UK fans will have slightly more access to Wrexham matches than supporters from other parts of the world as part of the wider Sky Sports broadcast deal for the 2023/24 season.

Sky Sports will show selected EFL games throughout the season, however, despite the global attention on Wrexham, they are unlikely to receive a significant amount of coverage via this route, with Sky Sports prioritising EFL Championship matches.
