Middlesbrough is set to learn their Championship schedule for the 2026-27 season. The team is hoping to end a 10-year wait for Premier League promotion after last season's play-off heartbreak.

What's at Stake?

Middlesbrough's Championship campaign will be their tenth consecutive season in the league. The team has shown promise under Kim Hellberg, and there is plenty of hope and expectation for the upcoming season.

The fixtures will be released at midday, and the Carabao Cup draw will follow at 4:30 pm. Middlesbrough will be looking to improve on their recent form, which has seen them lose their last four games.

Key Fixtures

Middlesbrough will face Sheffield United on Boxing Day, and they will host Preston North End on New Year's Day. The team's big grudge match of the season will be against Southampton.

Celebrating 150 Years

Middlesbrough is celebrating their 150th anniversary as a club this season. The team has planned a special game to mark the occasion, which will take place on October 10 against Wolves.

As of June 25, 2026, Middlesbrough is gearing up for the new season, with the players set to return to Rockliffe for pre-season training next Thursday. The team will then head to Portugal for a week-long training camp, where they will prepare for the upcoming season.
