										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wrexham&#8217;s hopes for <strong>Premier League promotion</strong> were dashed on the final day of the Championship season when they drew 2-2 against Middlesbrough. This result left them finishing seventh in the EFL Championship, just two points shy of a playoff spot.</p>
<p>Wrexham ended the season with 71 points, a commendable tally but not enough for postseason play. Hull City secured the sixth playoff spot by defeating Norwich City 2-1, which ultimately sealed Wrexham&#8217;s fate. The team had previously enjoyed a remarkable rise, achieving three straight promotions before this season.</p>
<p>That context matters because it highlights how far Wrexham has come since being taken over by Hollywood actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds in late 2020. Their investment brought hope and excitement to fans, who now face disappointment as promotion to the Premier League will have to wait.</p>
<p>Despite this setback, Wrexham proved they can compete at a high level. Coach Phil Parkinson noted, &#8220;Wrexham had promotion within their reach,&#8221; showcasing the team&#8217;s potential for future seasons. The club demonstrated resilience throughout the year but fell just short when it mattered most.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Wrexham will aim to secure a playoff spot in the next Championship season. They will return to the Championship for the 2026-27 season, where they hope to build on their recent successes and push for promotion once again.</p>
