Ryan Reynolds expresses excitement over Wrexham playing Liverpool at Yankee Stadium

Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham AFC alongside Rob McElhenney, shared his excitement about the Welsh club's upcoming pre-season match against Liverpool at Yankee Stadium on July 29, 2026. Reynolds described the experience as 'so far beyond pinch me, it's like a punch me moment,' highlighting the historic significance of Wrexham, a club with over 165 years of history, facing a global giant like Liverpool. The 2026 pre-season tour also includes matches against Leeds United on July 25 and Sunderland on August 2. Wrexham, which has risen from the fifth tier to the Championship under Reynolds and McElhenney's ownership, will then begin their competitive season with a Carabao Cup first-round match against Middlesbrough on August 7. The tour marks Wrexham's third visit to the United States since the celebrity owners took over.
