Wrexham and Birmingham kick off season against relegated PL teams | OneFootball

The fixtures for the 2025/26 Championship season are out, with all 24 clubs now knowing the path that lies ahead. The schedules for League One and League Two have also dropped at the same time.

Wrexham’s long-awaited return to the second tier kicks off with a trip to Southampton. Meanwhile, Birmingham City will get things going by welcoming Ipswich Town to St Andrew’s.

Charlton Athletic, fresh from their League One play-off triumph, mark their Championship comeback after five years away with a home clash against Watford.

Leicester City, back in the Championship following their relegation, begin their campaign at the King Power Stadium against Sheffield Wednesday.

The Championship gets underway on 8 August - a week after League One and League Two get started, and seven days before the Premier League returns.
