EFL fixtures LIVE: Schedules for Championship, League One and League Two clubs ahead of 24/25 season

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.
