Sky is giving all customers access to Welcome to Wrexham, the docu-series chronicling the rise of one of professional football’s oldest clubs, Wrexham AFC.
The offer can be found directly on the Sky TV home screen with no need to sign up to Disney+.
But fans of the show are urged to act quickly as the offer is for a limited time only ahead of the new series release next week.
The first two episodes of Welcome to Wrexham will be available to watch from next Friday, May 16.
The remaining episodes will continue to be released weekly with season four set to be eight episodes long.
Viewers can expect the new series to cover the 2024/2025 football campaign where the Welsh Club bid for a place in the Championship.
The preview, via Disney+, reads: “In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for.
“The world took notice and the Club achieved back-to-back promotions to bring the Reds into the English Football League’s League One for the first time in 20 years.
“Will Wrexham AFC rise to the challenge and do what no team has ever done before?”
Starting back in 2022, the first series covered the 2021-22 football season where Wrexham missed out on a promotion back to the Football League.
In the show’s third season, cameras were given unprecedented access to the pitch allowing fans to catch snippets of conversations players had in the locker room and out on the field.
The docu-series has charted the Welsh football team’s rise to fame after Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club in November 2020.
At the time, locals were surprised by the move and several members of the fan trust that originally owned the football club were against the takeover.
But since then, the Hollywood duo have succeeded in transforming the ‘Red Dragons’ with successive promotions.
Before that, the club were stuck in the National League for fifteen seasons.
Under the guidance of manager Phil Parkinson, their latest promotion will see them face off against clubs such as Queens Park Rangers, Millwall and Derby County.
The team has also won titles off the pitch, taking home five Emmys for Welcome to Wrexham during awards season.
Sky viewers may also notice a flurry of channel changes next week in the latest TV-guide switch up.
A number of channels including Eurosport, kids channel Pop Max and Sky History+1 have all vanished from screens since the start of the year.
Sky has also recently issued an update after a “frustrating bug” left customers seeing blank channels and error messages.
