About the game
Predict the Championship, live
The EFL Championship is the second tier of English football and widely regarded as one of the most competitive leagues on the planet. Twenty-four clubs battle across 46 gruelling matchdays from August through May - with automatic promotion for the top two, and a playoff for the third promotion spot. The Championship playoff final at Wembley is dubbed the most valuable single match in football. Every game matters, every goal counts.
The EFL Championship was formed in 2004 as the successor to the First Division and has since become a globally watched league in its own right. The sheer volume of matches, the quality of clubs competing (many of them with Premier League histories), and the intensity of the promotion and relegation battles make it one of the most engaging leagues to follow and predict throughout the season.
