Championship Fixtures 2019/20: The Complete List of Matches for the New Season
It's all well and good watching Jordan Pickford nail a pressure-penalty to seal a bronze medal at the Nations League finals and we've all enjoyed seeing the Lionesses roar in France, but there's nothing quite like club football.
It's not necessarily better, so much as different. We get tribal when it's derby day and would follow our beloved team from Land's End to John o' Groats and all the way back. Well, it won't be long until those days are back, with the fixtures for the 2019/20 Championship season being released on Thursday.
It all kicks off at Kenilworth Road, Luton Town announcing their return to the second-division with a home match against Middlesbrough. That's one of a handful of tasty clashes on the opening day, including Leeds United's trip to Bristol City and recently-relegated Huddersfield Town's Monday night showdown with losing playoff finalists Derby County.
Marcelo Bielsa's Whites outfit are once again favourites for promotion, closely followed by Fulham, West Bromwhich Albion, Cardiff City and Stoke City, all of whom have spent time in the top-flight in recent years.
Leeds meet the Cottagers four days before Christmas and then again on 18 March, whilst the latter take on West Brom for the first time on 14 September, venturing to the Hawthorns on 18 April as the run-in gets underway.
