The 2026/27 EFL Championship promises more drama then ever before as 24 teams battle it out over the campaign with just three earning promotion to the Premier League.
A major change has seen the Championship play-offs expanding from a top-six spot to a top-eight position this season, presenting clubs with more opportunity for promotion.
While the likes of West Ham, Wolves and Burnley will be looking for an immediate return to England's top flight, they'll face tough competition from Wrexham, Southampton and Millwall among others to escape the second tier.
At the other end of the table, Lincoln City, Cardiff City and Bolton will be looking to avoid an immediate return to League One.
The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details and how to follow the matches this season.
