Championship Preview: All 12 Weekend Fixtures, Tickets & Match of the Week (6–7 November 2026)

Wrexham welcoming Wolves to the Racecourse Ground is the pick of a packed Championship weekend, with West Ham United heading to Ewood Park and Burnley travelling to Cardiff.

As West Ham United, Wolves and Burnley all adjust to life back in the Championship, the weekend brings another set of tests for the three clubs relegated from the Premier League last season.

Below you'll find all 12 Championship fixtures from Friday 6 to Saturday 7 November 2026, each with a short preview, a seating plan where available and a link to tickets, plus our Match of the Week. Ticket-Compare.com is a comparison platform rather than a seller; it gathers listings from pre-vetted resale sites and authorised hospitality partners so you can compare prices and seat areas in one place before clicking through to buy from the marketplace of your choice.

This round follows straight on from the midweek fixtures, so squad rotation could play a part. Middlesbrough took a two-point lead at the top into their Wednesday night trip to Wrexham, with Birmingham City, Stoke City and Swansea City all on 26 points, while Burnley, Derby County and Preston North End make up the bottom three.

Derby County vs Bolton Wanderers – Pride Park Stadium, Derby (Friday 6 November 2026)

Friday night football at Pride Park opens the weekend, and Derby County against Bolton Wanderers is a meeting of two clubs with long top-flight histories who both see the Championship as a stepping stone rather than a home. Carlton Morris should be involved for the Rams and gives them a physical focal point, while Josh Sheehan is likely to feature in the Bolton midfield. Derby are 23rd with seven points, ten behind 16th-placed Bolton, so the hosts badly need a result. Coming just three days after both sides played in midweek, fresh legs could make the difference, and a home win would give Derby the early bragging rights of the round.

Portsmouth vs Stoke City – Fratton Park, Portsmouth (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Fratton Park remains one of the most atmospheric old grounds in the EFL, and Portsmouth will lean on that when Stoke City make the long trip to the south coast. Marko Milovanović should lead Portsmouth's attack, providing a physical presence through the middle, while Jack McGlynn is likely to feature in the Stoke midfield after scoring against Blackburn in midweek. The American offers creativity and an ability to move the ball forward from central positions. With the Fratton End behind the goal, the hosts tend to start quickly at home, and Stoke will need to weather that early pressure. The visitors arrive third on 26 points, four ahead of tenth-placed Portsmouth.

For late availability, it's worth a quick look at what's listed for this fixture.

Bristol City vs Norwich City – Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Bristol City host Norwich City at Ashton Gate in a meeting between two clubs who tend to play the game on the floor. Scott Twine should be involved for Bristol City after scoring the winner against Bolton last weekend, and his set-piece delivery could prove important. Sam Field is likely to feature for Norwich, bringing experience and defensive discipline to the centre of midfield. The two clubs were level on 18 points before City's Wednesday night meeting with Wolves, with Norwich 12th and City 15th. Ashton Gate is one of the better-appointed grounds in the division, and a home win would give City a lift heading into the rest of the month.

Charlton Athletic vs Sheffield United – The Valley, London (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Sheffield United make the trip to south-east London to face Charlton Athletic at The Valley, where the hosts' supporters have plenty to sing about after the club's return to the second tier. Miles Leaburn should be involved for Charlton, while Harrison Burrows is likely to feature for the Blades and offers a threat from wide areas. The Blades are ninth on 22 points, eight ahead of 21st-placed Charlton. Sheffield United will expect to have more of the ball, but The Valley has a habit of making life difficult for bigger clubs, and a draw would hardly be a poor result for either side.

Cardiff City vs Burnley – Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Burnley, who were in the Premier League last season, head to Wales to face Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Bluebirds are back in the Championship and will relish the chance to test themselves against one of the division's best-resourced sides. Burnley have found life back in the second tier hard and sit 22nd with ten points and just one win from 14 games, while Cardiff were 18th on 14 points before hosting West Ham on Wednesday. Jack Moylan should provide Cardiff with creativity and a goal threat from attacking midfield, while Josh Cullen is likely to feature for Burnley, bringing experience and composure in the centre of the pitch. Cardiff home crowds can be loud when they get behind the team, and an early goal would make for a lively afternoon.

West Bromwich Albion vs Millwall – The Hawthorns, West Bromwich (Saturday 7 November 2026)

West Bromwich Albion against Millwall at The Hawthorns tends to be a physical, set-piece-heavy contest, and there is little reason to expect anything different on Saturday. Jayson Molumby should be involved for the Baggies and sets the tempo in midfield, while Jake Cooper is likely to feature at the heart of the Millwall defence and remains a threat at attacking corners. Albion are fifth on 25 points, seven ahead of 13th-placed Millwall. The Lions' away support always travels in good numbers, and the visitors will be happy to make this a battle.

For late availability, it's worth a quick look at what's listed for this fixture.

Queens Park Rangers vs Lincoln City – Loftus Road, London (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Lincoln City, promoted from League One last season, make the trip to west London to face Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road, one of the tightest and most traditional grounds in the division. Ilias Chair should be involved for the hosts and remains their chief creator, while Ben House is likely to feature for the Imps up front. Newly promoted sides often find their feet away from home through organisation and energy, and Lincoln will hope to frustrate a QPR side who will expect to take control at home. Rangers are 11th with 21 points, six ahead of Lincoln in 17th.

Watford vs Middlesbrough – Vicarage Road, Watford (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Middlesbrough head south to face Watford at Vicarage Road in a meeting between the league leaders and a Watford side sitting 20th on 14 points. Riley McGree should be involved for Boro and is often their most inventive player in the final third, while Mattie Pollock is likely to feature at the back for the Hornets, whose job will be to limit the visitors' movement between the lines. It is a long trip for the visiting supporters, but Middlesbrough usually bring a vocal following.

Preston North End vs Southampton – Deepdale, Preston (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Deepdale is one of the oldest football grounds in the world still in use, and Preston North End will be hoping the history helps when Southampton come to town. Southampton have the bigger squad, with Flynn Downes and Ryan Manning likely to feature, and will expect to dominate possession. Jordan Thompson should be involved for Preston, providing energy and a hard-working presence in central midfield as the hosts look to disrupt the visitors' rhythm. Preston are bottom of the table with five points, while Southampton have 24 despite a four-point deduction. A home result would be a significant scalp for Preston, while the Saints will be looking for three points to stay in touch with the leading group.

Blackburn Rovers vs West Ham United – Ewood Park, Blackburn (Saturday 7 November 2026)

West Ham United visiting Ewood Park would have been a Premier League fixture not so long ago, and it should draw one of the bigger crowds of the season to Blackburn. Jarrod Bowen is likely to feature for the Hammers, who will be expected to take the game to the hosts, while Todd Cantwell should be involved for Rovers and is the player most likely to unlock a well-organised defence. West Ham had 22 points from 13 games before their midweek trip to Cardiff, four more than 14th-placed Blackburn, and for Rovers a positive result against one of the division's relegated sides would be a statement.

For late availability, it's worth a quick look at what's listed for this fixture.

Birmingham City vs Swansea City – St. Andrews, Birmingham (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Birmingham City welcome Swansea City to St Andrew's, where the hosts have invested heavily in recent seasons and will expect a big crowd. Patrick Roberts should provide Birmingham with creativity from wide areas, using his close control and passing to open up defences, while Adam Idah is likely to lead the line for Swansea and offers a physical presence and movement inside the penalty area. Swansea tend to keep the ball well on their travels, so the hosts will need patience if the visitors sit deep. Birmingham are second and Swansea fourth, both on 26 points, so this is a genuine meeting of promotion contenders.

Match of the Week: Wrexham vs Wolves – Racecourse Ground, Wrexham (Saturday 7 November 2026)

Our Match of the Week is a fixture that would have seemed unthinkable not long ago. Wrexham hosting Wolves at the Racecourse Ground, the oldest international football ground in the world still in use, is the sort of occasion that sums up the Welsh club's remarkable climb up the pyramid under their Hollywood ownership. Wolves arrive having dropped out of the Premier League and with a squad full of top-flight experience. Wolves had 24 points from 13 games before Wednesday's trip to Bristol City, ten more than Wrexham, who host leaders Middlesbrough the same night, and this is a game both clubs will have circled since the fixtures were released.

Kieffer Moore should lead Wrexham's attack, with his aerial presence giving the hosts a focal point up front, while young forward Bailey Cadamarteri could provide movement and energy alongside him. José Sá and André should be involved for Wolves, with Sá providing experience in goal and André helping the visitors control possession from midfield.
