It's a three-game week in the Championship, with a full slate of midweek fixtures live on TV across Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
The pick of Tuesday's games see leaders Swansea City travel to the Den to face Millwall and Stoke City host Middlesbrough.
West Ham's first league trip to Lincoln City since 1957 is among the four fixtures on offer on Wednesday evening.
The EFL's top division is, in the minds of many, the most competitive division in football and the 2026/27 renewal is showing signs of being truly special.
A shake-up means six play-off spots are on offer this term rather than four and as a result, the Premier League dream feels more in reach than ever for all 24 Championship clubs.
A 46-game Championship season is a wild ride and not for the faint-hearted. The good news for UK viewers is that there is extensive coverage throughout the 2026/27 campaign.
Radio Times brings you the complete Championship TV schedule, including every game you can watch live in the UK.
