Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney provide commentary for Wrexham’s match against Swansea.
Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac have taken on a new role, transitioning from the director’s box to the commentary booth. To mark five years of ownership, they provided commentary for their team’s all-Welsh match against Swansea City in the English Championship at the Racecourse Ground, where Wrexham secured a 2-0 victory.
The announcement was made a few days prior to the match, as they collaborated with Sky Sports presenter David Prutton for an alternative broadcast titled “Live From Wrexham with Rob & Ryan.” The program promised a “distinct matchday experience,” featuring spontaneous analysis and immediate reactions throughout the game.

During the match, the duo infused some humor into the commentary, sharing anecdotes such as the time former England player and current Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham FaceTimed them during Wrexham’s FA Cup defeat to Chelsea. They also made light of how closely positioned the microphones were in the commentary booth.
