Wrexham are closing in on finding out their fixture schedule for the 2026–27 Championship campaign.
The Red Dragons made an impressive return to England's second tier last season, achieving the best league finish in the club's history.
Phil Parkinson's men ended up seventh in the Championship standings, just two points adrift of Hull City, who claimed the playoff title and earned promotion to the Premier League.
Sources at Wrexham expect the division to be even more competitive next season, with three recently relegated top-flight clubs poised to benefit from substantial parachute payments. Southampton, Millwall, Middlesbrough and Birmingham City are also widely tipped as strong contenders for promotion.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the Championship fixture announcement.
When Are the Championship Fixtures Released?
The 2026–27 Championship fixtures will be unveiled on Thursday, June 25, at 12 p.m. BST (6 a.m. ET).
The EFL will simultaneously release the complete fixture schedules for League One and League Two at the same time.
Wrexham are also expected to learn their League Cup first-round draw later that day, though full details are yet to be confirmed.
The League Cup first round operates on a regional basis, with Wrexham placed in the Northern section alongside fellow EFL clubs. Premier League sides do not enter the competition at this stage.
When Does the Championship Season Start?

The Championship season kicks off a week ahead of the Premier League, with opening-weekend fixtures scheduled from Friday, Aug. 14, through Sunday, Aug. 16.
Wrexham, however, will be in action a week prior, with first-round League Cup ties set to take place on Saturday, Aug. 8 and Sunday, Aug. 9.
Phil Parkinson has confirmed that Wrexham will use the League Cup first round as a final preseason run-out before the new Championship campaign gets underway.
The Red Dragons have five official summer friendlies lined up and plan to treat the League Cup—commercially known as the Carabao Cup—as a sixth warm-up fixture before the league season kicks off.
