About the Championship table
Follow the Championship table through the 2026-27 season: points, goal difference and the full win-draw-loss record for all 24 clubs, plus goals and a column with each side's last five results. Zones mark the two automatic promotion spots, the playoff places below them and the three relegation places at the bottom.
Round 46, on Saturday, May 1, 2027, fixes the final order. First and second go straight up to the Premier League, the clubs from third to eighth play off for one more promotion place, and the bottom three drop to League One.
How to use the Championship table
- Clubs are ranked by points, and goal difference is the first thing that splits teams on the same total.
- Wins, draws, defeats and goals sit alongside, so you can see how each club has built its total.
- The last-five column shows recent form, handy for spotting who is climbing or fading over a 46-game season.
- The Championship simulator lets you project the final standings from here.
Championship table FAQ
Who finished top of the Championship in 2025-26?
Coventry City. Frank Lampard's side sealed the 2025-26 title with a 5-1 win over Portsmouth and ended a 25-year absence from the top flight. Ipswich Town went up in second place, and Hull City followed by beating Middlesbrough in the playoff final at Wembley.
What decides places when Championship clubs have the same points?
The EFL uses goal difference, then goals scored, and if clubs are still level it looks at their results against each other, then total wins, then goals scored in away games, then disciplinary points. A deciding match is played only if automatic promotion or relegation depends on it.
Which Championship places mean relegation to League One?
The last three, 22nd to 24th. Last season that meant Oxford United, Leicester City, Premier League champions in 2015-16, and Sheffield Wednesday, who had 18 points deducted for financial breaches.
