Tier 2 · 24 clubs · 2026–27
EFL Championship
The Championship stretches from the Humber to the Solent, from the Welsh border to the North Sea — a division where a Tuesday night at the Den and a Boxing Day at Fratton Park are the same three points.
The places the division calls home
From Teesside to the south coast, taking in three Welsh clubs along the way — every corner has its own away-day character. Here it is region by region.
The Midlands
The division's heartland: five clubs within an hour of each other, from Birmingham's back streets to Wolves' Black Country pubs.
Yorkshire & the North East
Bramall Lane and Teesside's Riverside. Expect big home crowds, early kick-offs and fierce welcomes.
The South
Dockyard cities and harbourside football. Fratton Park and Ashton Gate are two of the best atmospheres anywhere in the EFL.
Three away days to start with
A taste of what's inside — start with these, then dig into the rest.
