Middlesbrough Hub
Middlesbrough starts the 2026/27 Championship season with a home game against Lincoln City.
What's the fixture list looking like?
The team's next four games are against sides that finished 15th or lower last term, including Blackburn, West Brom, and QPR. Burnley, their fourth opponent, is currently dealing with uncertainty after Craig Bellamy's potential appointment fell through.
Key games and challenges
After the trip to QPR, three of Middlesbrough's next four games are at home, including a reunion with Tony Mowbray at Blackburn. The team's run-in looks tough, with games against Burnley and West Ham at home before the final day trip to Swansea.

Looking ahead to the new season
Middlesbrough's fans will be hoping for a strong start to the season, especially with the team's first five games looking relatively favorable. The trip to Ewood Park to face Blackburn will be a key game, with Tony Mowbray's side looking to bounce back from a disappointing season. As of June 26, 2026, Middlesbrough is preparing for the new season, looking to improve on their recent form and make a push for promotion.
