Huddersfield

Huddersfield

St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Friday’s Championship game between Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town. The Blues played out a goalless draw with Luton Town in their opener, and they are now on a quest to record their first win of the process. Forward Adan George remains on the sidelines with an ACL problem, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Summer signing C ... Read More...

Sheffield United

Sheffield United

Monday’s football game between Watford and Sheffield United will bring down the curtain on day 1 of the new Championship campaign. Both Watford and United are eyeing a return to the Premier League, but securing a top-two finish is easier said than done given the number of promotion-chasing sides. The likes of Moussa Sissoko, Cucho Hernadnez, Joshua King, Andre Gray, Adam Masin ... Read More...

Coventry

Coventry

Newcomers Sunderland will look to impress on their return to the Championship when they welcome Coventry City to their Stadium of Light in the season opener. The Black Cats secured promotion to the English second tier thanks to a 2-0 win over Wycombe, but they will surely find it hard to secure the Championship survival. The club chiefs did well to keep hold of top scorer from ... Read More...

West Bromwich

There will be fireworks when Middlesbrough and WBA go head to head at Riverside Stadium in the Championship derby. The Boro aim to build on a 2-0 win over Olympique Marseille, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Summer signings Darragh Lenihan, Zack Steffen, and Ryan Giles are eyeing their Middlesbrough debuts, while Djed Spence, Dejan St ... Read More...

Preston

All eyes will be on DW Stadium when newcomers Wigan Athletic and Preston take on each other in the opening match of the season. The Latics rolled over Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 in their last warm-p game, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Preston. Summer signings Joe Allen, Nathan Wood, and Harry Darling are likely to make their Wigan debut ... Read More...

Swansea

Saturday’s football game at Aesseal New York Stadium pits together Rotherham United and Swansea City, the two teams who meet for the first time since January 30, 2021. Back then Swansea defeated Rotherham 3-1 in the Championship, and the visitors are seen as favourites to emerge triumphant in the new season opener as well.

Stoke City

Stoke City

Millwall and Stoke City take on each other at the Den in a highly-anticipated Championship opener. The Lions finished the last season in 9th position, just below the playoffs berth, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to secure a top-six finish this time out. Big-money signing Zian Flemming is likely to make his official Millwall debut against Stoke City. Keep in mind that the ... Read More...

Luton Town and Birmingham City square off against each other at Kenilworth Road in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program.

Bristol City

MKM Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Hull City and Bristol City. The Tigers suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Peterborough in their last warm-up game, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping.

Cardiff City and Norwich City face each other at Cardiff City Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game.

Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s Championship game between Blackpool and Reading, the two teams who have met in some entertaining matches in recent years.
