Jack Grealish suffers embarrassing moment celebrating Man City's win

The EFL has released the fixtures for the Championship, League One and League Two clubs for the 2024/25 season.

Relegated Luton and Burnley will begin their bids for an immediate return to the Premier League when they face each other in their opening Championship fixture on August 12.

The match at Kenilworth Road will be played on the Monday night, the final Championship fixture of a weekend which begins with a Friday night double-header in which Blackburn host newly-promoted Derby and Sheffield United, also relegated from the Premier League, head to Preston.

Promoted Portsmouth begin life in the Championship away to Leeds the following day, with Oxford hosting Norwich – who have appointed Johannes Hoff Thorup to replace David Wagner. New Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris will begin his tenure away to Cardiff while Hull boss Tim Walter will welcome Bristol City in his first league match in charge.

EFL fixture release

Not long now until we find out what the fixtures are for the new EFL season

[26 June 2024 08:15 · Luke Baker]

What about League Two?

In League Two, it will be a proud day for Bromley as the club plays EFL football for the first time in a 132-year history having earned their place with a dramatic play-off final victory.

Chesterfield also returned to the Football League after six seasons away, while Cheltenham, Fleetwood, Port Vale and Carlisle have all come down from League One.

[26 June 2024 07:55 · Luke Baker]

What about League One?

An encounter with Wrexham, meanwhile, is sure to be on the radar of plenty in League One after back-to-back promotions for the Welsh club under their Hollywood owners.

The third tier promises to be a fascinating league with Stockport, Mansfield and Crawley joining Wrexham in getting promoted last season, while Birmingham are gearing up for their first League One season for 30 years after relegation from the Championship alongside Rotherham and Huddersfield.

The league is also littered with ex-Premier League clubs such as Charlton, Wigan, Bolton and Barnsley.

Wayne Rooney leads Plymouth Argyle in the Championship

Wayne Rooney makes his management return and begins a third spell in charge of a club in the EFL.

Appointed Plymouth Argyle boss, the England and Manchester United legend will be looking out for his first game in charge of the Pilgrims.

Rooney has been enjoying a stint of punditry out in Germany for Euro 2024, but he will soon turn attention to pre-season and will have a keen eye on the schedules released this morning.

When are the EFL fixtures released?

Anticipation abounds across the country as the 72 English Football League clubs prepare to find out their schedules for the 2024/25 season.

Fixtures for the Championship, League One and League Two will be released simultaneously as match-going supporters and television watchers ready their calendars for the upcoming campaign.

Portsmouth, Derby County and Oxford United earned elevation to the second tier at the end of last season, and are joined in the Championship by a returning Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United after the trio failed to maintain their Premier League status after just a single season back in the top flight.
