Your complete guide to watching the Championship in 2023/24, featuring a full TV schedule of games coming up.
The Championship is one of the toughest leagues in the world and an action-packed season full of twists and turns is on the cards, with all 24 teams dreaming of reaching the Premier League.
Leicester, Leeds and Southampton will be bidding to bounce back to the top flight after their relegation last season, and all three clubs boast new managers in the dugout. Enzo Maresca has quit his role as Pep Guardiola’s assistant for the Foxes, Daniel Farke attempts to earn a second promotion after taking the reins at Elland Road, while Southampton fans are looking forward to a new era under Russell Martin.
Sheffield Wednesday are back in the second tier after winning the League One play-offs in dramatic fashion, but ex-Watford gaffer Xisco Muñoz takes charge after Darren Moore was shown the door ahead of pre-season. The Owls will be joined in the Championship by Ipswich and Plymouth, who secured automatic promotion.
