Sheffield United travel to Watford in another standout fixture of the first weekend.

The Blades make the trip to Vicarage Road on Monday, August 1, to round off an exciting first set of games.

Two promotion hopefuls in Middlesbrough and West Brom will clash at the Riverside, while Norwich face a long trip to Cardiff to face ex-Canaries striker Steve Morison’s Bluebirds.

Sunderland are back in the second tier after four years in League One and welcome Coventry to the Stadium of Light to get their campaign under way.

Championship key dates

The Championship kicks off on Friday, July 29 when Huddersfield host Burnley at the John Smith's Stadium.

That earlier start is due to the mid-season break that is needed to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar.

After the November 12 fixtures, there will be a three-week gap, with the Championship resuming on December 10.

The regular season ends on May 6 with the play-off final scheduled for Monday, May 29 at Wembley Stadium.
