Championship Fixtures 2026-27: Dates and Kick-Offs

By English Matchday Editorial Team · Updated 1 November 2026

Here are the upcoming Championship fixtures for all 24 clubs, with kick-off times in UK time. The list below refreshes through the day as the data feed changes, so postponements and rearranged games appear as soon as they are confirmed. Underneath it, we explain how the season is laid out, what the fixtures mean for promotion and relegation, and where to find results and live scores.

When are the next Championship fixtures?

The next Championship fixtures are the ones at the top of the list above, in date and time order. Each entry shows the two clubs and the UK kick-off time, so you can plan around a Saturday afternoon or a midweek evening game without converting time zones.

If a game has been moved, the list updates with the new time. Because dates can change for television coverage or other reasons, it is worth checking again shortly before you travel or tune in.

How does the Championship season work?

The Championship is a league of 24 clubs, and each plays every other club twice, once at home and once away. That makes 46 league games per club and 552 across the division, which is why the season is such a long run of rounds in autumn, winter and spring.

Because the schedule is so full, the fixture list often includes midweek rounds as well as Saturday games. For clubs also in a cup competition, extra ties push league games around, which is one reason the dates in the list can move.

What do Championship fixtures mean for promotion and relegation?

The top two clubs at the end of the season are promoted to the Premier League. Clubs from third to eighth go into the play-offs for the last promotion place, which expanded from four clubs to six from 2026-27, and the bottom three are relegated. That means every fixture carries weight at one end of the table or the other.

When you look at the list, it is useful to check the league table first. A game between two clubs in the top eight is a direct promotion race fixture, while a game between two clubs near the bottom is a relegation six-pointer. The Championship form table adds the recent picture, showing who goes into a game on a winning run.

Where can I find results and live scores?

Finished games move from the fixtures list into our results page, with the final score. While a game is on, you can follow it on live scores, which updates through the match. For goals across the season, see the Championship top scorers.

Where can I see the fixtures for one club?

Each club has its own page in our club guides, which lists that club’s upcoming games alongside its recent results. That is the quickest way to plan a season of away trips or to see how a run of games looks for your side.

Are there predictions for Championship games?

Yes. Our football predictions give a clear pick for every Premier League and Championship game in the next three days, with the reasoning behind each one. They are estimates from a statistical model, not guarantees, and for information only. For the full context on the division, visit the Championship hub.

How should you use the Championship fixtures list?

Start with your own club, then look at the games around it. If a side has three home games in a row, that is a chance to build momentum, while a run of away trips is usually harder, because travelling and unfamiliar pitches can affect results. It also helps to count how many of the next five games come against sides in the top six, since a tough run can change a club’s promotion hopes quickly.

Fans planning to travel should check the date as well as the time. Games can be moved for television or safety reasons, and a rearranged fixture may land on a different day, so confirm before you book trains or hotels. If you are following a rival, compare its list with yours, because a club with games in hand can climb the table without winning more often.

Why do some Championship fixtures get postponed?

Games are mostly postponed because of weather, a pitch problem, a cup replay or a request to move the game for safety. When that happens, the league sets a new date, and the fixture list updates as soon as the feed changes. While a game is off, the clubs involved can have fewer league games played than their rivals, so the table looks different until the match is made up.

That is also why we show UK kick-off times from the feed rather than typing them in by hand. If a game is rearranged, you will see the new slot without any delay on our side, and the old date disappears from the list.

Where does the fixtures data come from?

Fixtures, kick-off times and results come from a licensed football data feed and refresh through the day. We do not edit the dates by hand. If something looks wrong, check again shortly, since the feed updates as the league confirms changes. Our editorial policy explains how we handle data and corrections.
