The2022–23 season was the 158th season in the existence ofWrexham A.F.C. and their 15th consecutive season in theNational League. Wrexham were one of the five Welsh football clubs in theEnglish football league system. The season was unusual in that the fixture dates of domestic and European competitions were consistently postponed to accommodate thecoverage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup played in November and December 2022 inQatar.
Wrexham kicked off the season by beatingEastleigh 2–1 in theNational League. Wrexham has traded the top spot back and forth withNotts County throughout the season. On 7 April, leading up to their second match against one another, Wrexham was second in the league, tied with Notts County at 100 points, behind on goal difference but with a game in hand. The season saw a persistent rise in popularity of their matches, with attendance close to stadium capacity at every match.[1] The Red Dragons successfully gained promotion to theEFL League Two title for the first time in 15 years, in a closely fought title race with Notts County. They won the league by 4 points on the penultimate matchday, coming back from a first minute goal byBoreham Wood, to score three goals in the remainder of the match, with goals from talisman Paul Mullin and Elliot Lee.
Wrexham also participated in theFA Trophy and theFA Cup. In the FA Trophy, they were knocked out in the fourth round byAltrincham, on penalties. In the FA Cup, they were knocked out in a fourth round replay againstEFL Championship sideSheffield United.
