Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Take on Commentary Roles for Wrexham’s Match Against Swansea City
On March 13, 2026, Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney ventured into the commentary booth for their team’s English Championship match against Swansea City at the Racecourse Ground. The Hollywood duo teamed up with Sky Sports presenter David Prutton for an alternative broadcast titled “Live From Wrexham with Rob & Ryan,” promising a unique matchday experience with unscripted analysis and real-time reactions.
The news was announced days before the match, and the pair admitted to being “terrified” ahead of the broadcast. However, they were determined to deliver the standard that viewers expect when watching a match. Reynolds and McElhenney have been Wrexham co-owners since 2021, and the club has undergone a significant transformation, earning multiple promotions from the National League.
A Unique Commentary Experience
During the game, Reynolds and McElhenney added a bit of banter and humor to the commentary, sharing stories and jokes with the audience. At one point, they told the story of how former England player and current Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham FaceTimed them during Wrexham’s FA Cup loss against Chelsea. They also poked fun at the microphones in the commentary booth, joking about how uncomfortably close they were.
The banter continued as Reynolds joked that he and McElhenney had even considered holding a clinic on “flopping” to help their team. The pair’s commentary style was a refreshing change from the traditional analysis, and their enthusiasm was palpable as they cheered on their team. Finally, they got their wish of calling a goal when Nathan Broadhead scored the opener in the 25th minute, and again in the 88th minute when Liam Cullen’s own goal gave all three points to the hosts.
