Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will step behind the microphone for the club's Championship match against Swansea City. The "Live from Wrexham with Rob & Ryan" event will air on Sky Sports.
"Neither of us have called a sporting event of any variety," the co-chairmen stated. "Either way, it will be another unpredictable day at the Racecourse and we can't wait." They expressed gratitude to the EFL and Sky Sports, humorously adding, "the latter of which we hope is ready with the bleep button."
The live broadcast from the SToK Cae Ras stadium will feature unscripted match analysis and real-time reactions from the Hollywood duo. Reynolds and McElhenney purchased Wrexham in February 2021 when it was a fifth-tier club. Following three successive promotions, they are now competing in the Championship.
Michael Williamson, CEO of Wrexham, noted, "The first-ever Live from Wrexham with Rob & Ryan, together with Sky Sports and the EFL, continues on this theme and allows Wrexham fans globally yet another unique way of following our match with Swansea in a world where sport and entertainment collide." Wrexham currently sits sixth in the Championship, on track for the playoffs.
