Championship table 2026/27 & predictions
England's second tier is a longer and harder season than the one above it — forty-six matches — and it hands out only two automatic promotions, with third to sixth going into a play-off whose final is routinely called the richest match in football. The table matters more here than almost anywhere else in the English game, because one place can separate a Premier League season from another forty-six-game grind. Standings, fixtures, results and predictions with 1X2 odds are all below.
