THE RELEASE date for the hotly-anticipated third season of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary has been confirmed.

The popular series, produced by FX, is all about the football club and the community of Wrexham.

It shines a spotlight on the takeover of the Reds by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, as well as some of the greatest characters in the Wrexham community and so much more.

When the first season launched in 2022, it was met with an incredible reception around the world.

So much so, that new Wrexham fans have began to follow the club from countries as far away as the likes of USA and Brazil.

Welcome to Wrexham's popularity was proved further as it won an incredible five Emmy awards just last month.

Today (February 9), fans have been treated to the news that season 3 will launch in the Spring.

The new series will premiere on Thursday, April 18 at 10pm ET/PT on FX, with streaming availability on Hulu (in the USA) the following day.

The season premiere features the first of eight episodes, with subsequent episodes released every Thursday.

The series will then be available on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in other regions soon after the premiere.

The release date has coincided with the third anniversary of Rob and Ryan's takeover.

Wrexham AFC confirmed the news via their social media pages.

The previous seasons of Welcome to Wrexham have launched in the Autumn time, but series three looks to follow a more unusual pattern.

It will be launched before the 2023/24 season concludes, with the Reds still potentially chasing promotion to EFL League One at that point.
