The English Football League (EFL) has confirmed the fixture release dates for the 2026-27 season across the Championship, League One, and League Two. Fans can expect the full schedules to be published in June, ahead of the new campaign.
When Are the Fixtures Released?
The EFL will announce the fixture lists for all three divisions in June 2026. Exact dates are yet to be confirmed, but traditionally, the Championship fixtures are released in mid-June, followed by League One and League Two later the same week. The Premier League fixtures for the 2026-27 season are also expected around the same period.
What to Expect from the New Season
The 2026-27 EFL season is set to begin in early August, with the regular season concluding in May 2027. The play-offs will follow shortly after, with the Championship play-off final traditionally held at Wembley Stadium in late May.
Sky Sports will continue to broadcast over 1,400 live matches across the Premier League and EFL, including at least 215 top-flight games. The broadcaster has also expanded its Ultimate TV package to include HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, and Hayu, alongside 135 channels.
For fans eager to plan their season, the fixture release is a key date. Clubs often schedule pre-season friendlies and tours around the announcement, so supporters should stay tuned to their club's official channels for updates.
