Wrexham prepares for tough start in Championship season opener

Summary

Wrexham begins its 2026-27 Championship season with a challenging schedule. The team, aiming for a playoff spot after narrowly missing last season, will face two Welsh derbies and two newly relegated sides within its first nine matches. Former captain Ben Tozer emphasizes the importance of making a strong early impression, particularly considering Wrexham's opening match against Cardiff City. That matchup is a rematch after Wrexham lost to Cardiff in the Carabao Cup last season. Tozer believes the team should aim high and take advantage of its new signings going into the season.
