Championship TV schedule 2025/26: Coverage, TV fixtures and live stream
Your complete guide to watching the Championship in 2025/26, featuring a full TV schedule of games coming up.
The Championship season is not panning out how many would have expected in the early stages of the campaign.
Middlesbrough lead the way with a four-point gap to the chasing pack which contains Stoke and Bristol City, while recently-relegated Ipswich and Southampton have failed to adapt to life in the second tier.
Sheffield United have capitulated since losing the play-off final in May. They started the season with five defeats in a row, leading to Chris Wilder returning to replace Ruben Selles for a bizarre third spell as boss.
Ambitious newly-promoted clubs, Birmingham City and Wrexham are not here to make up the numbers but have found out early on that making the step up to the second tier isn't easy.
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.
