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 is as tight as ever at the start of a jam-packed December.
Runaway leaders Coventry City have opened up a healthy 10-point lead but just four points separate the rest of the top six.
The pack chasing the play-offs are even more congested. There is a five-point spread between Hull City in seventh and 17th-place Charlton Athletic, while Sheffield United, in 19th, are remarkably a promotion contender.
Things look bleak for bottom-club Sheffield Wednesday, who have been cut adrift by their points deduction, and Portsmouth have now joined Norwich City as the other teams below the dotted line.
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.
