August is underway and for Championship fans, that means a new season is just around the corner.
The 2026/27 campaign will kick off on August 14, when newly-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers host Blackburn Rovers under the Molineux lights. That game will be the start of a bumper weekend of action, during which fans will flock back to the stands.
Sheffield United’s season will start on home turf against Birmingham City, and Middlesbrough will also begin at home when they welcome Lincoln City to the Riverside.
Away from Yorkshire, Preston North End will make the short trip to Bolton Wanderers and Bristol City will host Millwall.
Charlton Athletic are due to entertain Derby County, Norwich City will do battle with West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth will take on Queens Park Rangers.
Swansea City will be the visitors at Stoke City, Watford will welcome Southampton to Vicarage Road and Burnley will be reunited with West Ham United following their respective relegations from the Premier League. There will also be a tasty Welsh derby battle between Wrexham and Cardiff City.
It promises to be another mouthwatering season in England’s second tier and fans are starting to issue predictions.
