The Away End · 2026–27

Welcome to the Championship, football's great road trip

Twenty-four clubs, twenty-four towns and cities, forty-six rounds from August to May. The Championship stretches from the Humber to the Solent, from the Welsh border to the North Sea — a division where a Tuesday night at the Den and a Boxing Day at Fratton Park are the same three points. This site is the away supporter's companion: an introduction to the places the division calls home, and a fixture-driven planner for getting there, drinking well and making a day of it.

The places the division calls home

The Championship stretches from Teesside to the south coast, taking in two Welsh clubs along the way — and every corner has its own away-day character. Here it is region by region.

London & the South East

Three capital outposts plus Watford, and now West Ham's vast Olympic home. Tube and mainline links make these the easiest aways — and the priciest pints.

The Midlands

The division's heartland: five clubs within an hour of each other, from Birmingham's back streets to Wolves' Black Country pubs.

Yorkshire & the North East

Bramall Lane and Teesside's Riverside. Expect big home crowds, early kick-offs and fierce welcomes.

The North West

Four founder-member territory: Deepdale, Ewood Park, Turf Moor and Bolton's retail-park bowl. Proper football country, and the wind to prove it.

The East

Norwich's riverside gem and Lincoln's cathedral-city climb. Long drives, but two of the most welcoming away days in the division.

The South

Dockyard cities and harbourside football. Fratton Park and Ashton Gate are two of the best atmospheres anywhere in the EFL.

A full Welsh trio this season: Cardiff and Swansea's fierce rivalry, plus Wrexham's Hollywood fairytale — all playing in the English pyramid.
