The regular EFL season has finished - and attention is already turning to the summer transfer window.
There may still be play-off games to play but for those not involved, plans for the 2026/27 campaign can start to take shape.
Club officials and fans alike will be scouring the retained lists that are published over the coming weeks, keen to see if there is any exciting talent to be picked up on a free transfer.
There is still time for contract renewals to be agreed, although some clubs are already parting with members of their first-team squad.
Here is a look at 33 Championship players who - as it stands - will become free agents this summer.
