Below we have all the information on how to watch EFL Championship 2025/26 season from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and live streams on TV screens, laptops, tablets and mobiles. Ipswich have kept plenty of their relegated Premier League squad in tact, including highly rated manager Kieran McKenna, with Sammie Szmodics a proven goalscorer at this level. Southampton have brought in Will Still as gaffer this term after he impressed in France with Reims and Lens. Marti Cifuentes has replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy in the Leicester dugout, and the Foxes have retained their best players, with the exception of Jamie Vardy. Promoted sides Wrexham and Birmingham will fancy their chances. The Welsh side, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have won three successive promotions from the fifth to the second tier, where they feature for the first time since 1981/82. Josh Windass and Lewis O'Brien are among their summer signings. Blues, part-owned by NFL great Tom Brady, have brought home former youth product Demarai Gray to feed Jay Stansfield up top after a 100-point 2024/25. Elsewhere, Frank Lampard will hope to go one better with his Coventry City side that fell in the playoffs, Ruben Selles takes charge of Sheffield United, while Millwall could go well under the competitive gaffer Alex Neil. Whatever happens, expect thrills and spills in arguably Europe's most competitive league in which anyone can beat anyone. Here's where to watch EFL Championship 2025/26 live streams online from anywhere. Game of the Week Norwich vs Middlesbrough — Saturday, August 23, 3pm KO Middlesbrough have made a flying start to the Championship under new manager Rob Edwards, collecting six points from their first two matches. They'll look to continue that momentum at Carrow Road, where attacks should come to the fore.
