Championship Fixtures: Who Has the Toughest Start to 2025-26? | Opta Analyst
The 2025-26 Championship fixtures are out, so we analysed which teams have the easiest and toughest starts to the new EFL season.theanalyst.com
Where the hell in this season is our run of easier games?

Rated the 2nd most difficult run of fixtures up until the 1st international break and the most difficult leading up to the 2nd international break.
If we are in or around the play off pack after that then we will have done very well imo.
