A selection of Wrexham games will be available to stream live worldwide on National League TV, which was launched in December 2022. Fans can sign up for a one-day match pass at the cost of £9.50, while international fans can purchase a half-season pass at the cost of £80 or go for a subscription at £22.50 a month.

The odd game is shown on BT Sport in the United Kingdom, while also being made available to stream on the BT Sport App, but those outings in front of a national audience tend to be few and far between.

Occasionally, some games are also available to stream live on the Wrexham Player - the club's official video streaming service, which also posts highlights.

Highlights of Wrexham games are usually posted on the club's official YouTube channel, while unique bitesize highlights packages featuring voiceovers from Reynolds and McElhenney, have been shared on TikTok - the club's principal shirt sponsor - garnering millions of views.

Interest is clearly there as Reynolds recently revealed to his 20 million followers on Twitter that ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ sat second to Game of Thrones prequel ‘House of Dragons’ on the Canadian streaming charts following its August 24 release.

Yes - more Wrexham games are now available to stream live, with Reynolds leading calls for non-league football in England to embrace streaming technology and branch out into markets that will get more eyes on their product.

The actor was vocal in his criticism of the National League and urged league bosses to arrive at a solution with BT Sport, the network with broadcasting rights for the competition.

Around the time of the initial criticism, Wrexham said as a collective in a statement on the club’s official website: "The matter of streaming of National League games for all clubs has been on the agenda for an extended period, with Wrexham AFC first raising this in April 2021.

"The ability to stream games would financially benefit all clubs and significantly enhance the profile of the League by providing the League’s Executives the platform to market the competition, generating increased central revenue."

The Vanarama National League ultimately responded to the sustained and public criticisms from the Wrexham owners, and a 'soft launch' of National League TV came in December 2022 - four months after Reynolds' statement.

The club said that it was "delighted to see the launch of the National League’s streaming service" and "[congratulated] all those involved with the launch."
