The best league in world football is back. The Championship has everything you could ever want from a competition and the rollercoaster ride returns for 2022/23.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a more unpredictable league while also maintaining a strong standard of football, big crowds and entertainment. It’s the full package.

Watford, Burnley and Norwich return to the second tier following relegation from the Premier League, while Wigan, Rotherham and Sunderland have been promoted to the Championship.

Fans will be desperate for a taste of domestic football action to come back around, and the wait is now finally over.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the TV coverage details you need to know for the Championship 2022/23 season.

What channel is the EFL Championship on?

Sky Sports boast all the rights to the EFL Championship live on TV in 2022/23, with up to 138 games to be shown live across the season.

In addition to the TV games, a number of midweek clashes will be shown on Red Button services and club streaming platform iFollow.

We won’t be listing every game shown on Red Button – which is not available on NOW – but if your favourite Championship team is playing a midweek game, you can expect to be able to tune in.
