Wrexham's remarkable rise through the English football pyramid continues to capture attention, and on Friday night which is on the 9th of January 2026, the Red Dragons face their biggest test yet as they welcome Premier League side Nottingham Forest to the Racecourse Ground in the FA Cup third round.
Since their takeover in 2021, Wrexham have climbed from the National League to the Championship in just three seasons and now sit ninth in the table with 40 points from 26 matches.
Phil Parkinson's men arrive in excellent form, having bounced back from a difficult spell to record four consecutive league victories, strengthening their push for a playoff place. Confidence is high, but this fixture represents a significant step up in quality.
