Middlesbrough is gearing up for the 2026/27 Championship season by exploring potential signings from a list of 22 free agents. After a challenging previous season, where the club's automatic promotion aspirations fell short, they still managed to secure a playoff spot. Under the management of Kim Hellberg, Boro faced Southampton in the semi-finals but were ultimately defeated. A dramatic final at Wembley saw them lose to Hull City, with a late goal from Oli McBurnie sealing their fate. Hellberg reflected on the season, highlighting the team's strong performances and unity, but acknowledged the need for improvement. As they prepare for the upcoming season, Middlesbrough is keen to bolster their squad with fresh talent. The list of free agents includes players who could significantly enhance the club's chances of success in the Championship. With the right additions, Middlesbrough aims to mount a serious challenge for promotion next year.
