Championship TV schedule 2025/26: Coverage, TV fixtures and live stream

Fixtures are coming thick and fast in the Championship, where it is another three-game week.

Coventry City remain top of the pile despite their defeat away at Wrexham on Halloween and Frank Lampard will be desperate to ensure the Sky Blues respond straight away.

In true Championship style, just five points separate fifth from 17th with a little more than a quarter of the season gone.

Southampton, who are just three points above the relegation zone, have sacked summer hire Will Still and other coaches down the bottom will be fearing a similar fate.

Fans won't want to miss a minute and they will barely have to when the season gets going again – with more than 1,000 EFL games available to watch live.

RadioTimes.com brings you the complete Championship TV schedule, including every game you can watch live in the UK.
