The EFL Championship is England's second tier of professional football, one of the most competitive leagues in the world. It features 24 clubs battling for promotion to the Premier League, with the Championship play-off final dubbed 'the richest game in football' due to the prize of top-flight football.
About the EFL Championship
The EFL Championship runs a relentless 46-game marathon, and its scheduling reflects that volume. The bulk of fixtures still kick off at 15:00 on Saturdays, but Sky Sports carves out a Friday 19:45 pick, a Saturday 12:30 game, Sunday slots at 12:00 and 15:00, and the occasional Monday night, with midweek rounds at 19:45 a near-constant feature of a congested calendar.
Because TV selections chase the promotion contenders and biggest fanbases, an in-form side can find itself repeatedly bumped to standalone slots. For fans abroad the times mirror the Premier League's, so a 12:30 Saturday game is breakfast in the eastern US and an evening watch in India, though the sheer number of matches makes the Championship harder to follow live from afar than its glamorous neighbour.
What the division lacks in star names it makes up for in unpredictability and stakes: the play-off final at Wembley is routinely billed as the richest game in football, its winner promoted to the riches of the top flight. Fierce local derbies, historic clubs fallen on harder times and wildly swinging form make it one of the most gruelling and compelling leagues anywhere.
