The 2026-27 EFL Championship will continue Monday with a matchup between Wrexham and Cardiff at Cardiff City Stadium.
Wrexham has had a remarkable ascent, becoming the first club in the top five tiers of English football to achieve three consecutive promotions. Their streak came to a halt last season though, as they placed seventh and missed the playoff spots by just two points. This year's campaign will be another uphill battle if they wish to see the Premier League.
On the other hand, Cardiff City was promoted with an instant return to the Championship after finishing second in League One last spring. The club have been quiet in the transfer market this summer, causing concern about squad depth and another possible relegation battle.
Who will start their campaign off with a win?
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
