The big one is finally here! Welcome to the Championship Lowdown’s massive 2026/27 Season Preview. Tom, Kelan, James, and Adam sit down to debate, argue, and ultimately build our definitive 1-24 EFL Championship Prediction Table.
With absolute heavyweights dropping down to the second tier, this is shaping up to be the most chaotic and high-quality Championship season in recent memory. We break down Nuno Espírito Santo's terrifying West Ham squad, boosted by Jarrod Bowen's massive new contract. Can new managers Nicky Hayen at Burnley and Cesar Peixoto at Wolves secure an immediate return to the Premier League? Will Michael Skubala unlock Bristol City? Plus, we discuss how Southampton will respond following the Spygate fallout and whether Lincoln City will stay up? Can Birmingham City make the Premier League?
Have your say in the comments. Who did we completely disrespect, and who are we overrating?
