The EFL Championship’s 2026-27 season fixture list has been released, giving all 24 clubs their complete schedule for the campaign ahead.
Every team in the second tier of English football now knows their opening-day opponents, with supporters eagerly scanning the dates for the biggest matches of the season.
The Championship remains one of the most competitive domestic leagues in world football, with promotion to the Premier League the ultimate prize for clubs at the top end of the table.
Three clubs were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2025-26 season and will be looking to make an immediate return to the top flight next term.
Meanwhile, sides promoted from League One will be hoping to consolidate their place in the Championship and avoid an instant drop back down to the third tier.
The fixture list is always a major moment in the pre-season calendar, allowing managers and coaches to begin planning their preparations for the months ahead.
Clubs will be paying close attention to the density of fixtures during busy winter periods, when the relentless Championship schedule can take a significant physical toll on squads.
Home supporters will be circling key local derby fixtures on their calendars, with rivalries across the Championship generating some of the most passionate atmospheres in English football.
The play-offs will again be a major talking point throughout the season, with six clubs ultimately competing for the final promotion spot at Wembley Stadium in May.
With the new season fast approaching, supporters, players, and managers across all 24 clubs will now be turning their attention firmly toward the opening weekend of fixtures.
