The EFL fixture release day has now been confirmed as June 24th at 9am whilst the new season will get underway officially on Saturday 7 August although it will be almost certain that Sky Sports will use the evening of Friday 6 August to show the 1st of their 138 live games for next season.
The following midweek sees the start of the Carabao Cup that has a final date confirmed as Sunday 27th February whilst the league season in the Championship is scheduled to end on the weekend of 7th/8th May 2022.
The play off final will again bring down the curtain on the Championship season with a scheduled date of Sunday 29th May.
