The Championship season is into its fourth month and the early part of the 2026/27 campaign has served as a reminder of just how tight things are in the second tier.

The EFL's top division is, in the minds of many, the most competitive division in football and a lot of the 24 teams will still believe that promotion this season, whether that's through the play-offs or a top-two finish, could still happen.

A shake-up means six play-off spots are on offer this term rather than four and as a result, the Premier League dream feels more in reach than ever for all 24 Championship clubs.

A 46-game Championship season is a wild ride and not for the faint-hearted. The good news for UK viewers is that there is extensive coverage throughout the 2026/27 campaign.

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