When the 2021/22 Championship campaign starts and when fixtures are released: The details Cardiff City & Swansea City fans need to know

There's not long left to wait until next season's Championship fixtures are confirmed


The new Championship campaign begins in August


The 2021/22 Championship fixtures will be released in June.

The English Football League will publish the full schedule for the upcoming campaign at 9am on Thursday, June 24.

The new Championship season begins on Saturday, August 7, although the EFL have confirmed it is likely that one match will be televised on the night of Friday, August 6.


The 2021/22 Championship season will end on the weekend of May 7-8, 2022, while the play-off final will be held at Wembley on Sunday, May 29, 2022.


Norwich City, Watford and Brentford all gained promotion into the Premier League and will not be involved in the upcoming Championship campaign.

Those three sides will be replaced by Sheffield United, West Brom and Fulham who were all relegated from the top-flight.


Swansea City have missed out on a place in the Premier League after defeat to Brentford. But we'll still have all the reaction from Wembley for you.


As for those who came up into the division, Hull City and Peterborough United both gained automatic promotion from League One while Blackpool or Lincoln City will be promoted via the play-offs.

Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday and Wycombe Wanderers all dropped out of the second tier.
