Wrexham supporters have been given a fresh look at the new Kop Stand after latest footage from the Racecourse Ground showed clear construction progress in June 2026.
The update matters because the Kop is no longer just a cleared end of the ground. It is beginning to resemble the stand that will complete the stadium again.
Fresh footage showed steelwork connected across the stand towers, with terracing also installed. That gives fans a clearer view of how the finished structure will sit inside the Racecourse Ground.
The project is part of Wrexham AFC’s wider stadium growth under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. It is another visible sign of how quickly the club’s infrastructure is changing alongside life in the Championship.
Wrexham Kop progress now looks visible from the ground up
The latest update from “Mr Drone” described major progress since previous footage from the site.
The key detail is the change in shape. Steelwork has been connected across the towers and terracing has been fitted, which gives the build a much more recognisable stadium profile.
For Wrexham fans, that is a meaningful step. The Kop end has carried real weight for years, and the empty side of the Racecourse has long felt like unfinished business.
The redevelopment is expected to add thousands of places to the ground. The wider Racecourse Ground capacity is projected to move beyond 18,000 once the stand is complete.
Racecourse Ground redevelopment is tied to Wrexham’s bigger plan
This is not just a construction story. It is part of the wider plan to make the Racecourse Ground fit for where Wrexham now want to compete.

The stand is now expected to be ready for the start of the 2027/28 season. That timeline gives the club room to complete the work properly. It also gives supporters a clearer sense of when the Racecourse can become a four-sided ground again.
Wrexham supporters can see the future taking shape
The most encouraging part of the latest footage is simple. The new Kop now looks like a stand in progress rather than a distant promise.
That matters for a fanbase that has watched Phil Parkinson‘s side climb quickly on the pitch while demand for tickets has grown with it. A bigger, fuller Racecourse Ground is central to the next stage.
The finished stand should change the feel of matchdays. It should also restore a sense of balance to one of football’s most recognisable old grounds.
There is still work to do before supporters take their places there. But the latest update is a positive one for Wrexham, because the outline of the new Kop is now becoming clear.
