EFL Championship Promotion Betting Odds for the 2025/26 Season

Last season, Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton were all promoted from the EFL Championship. But who will follow in their footsteps in the 25/26 campaign?

An outside bet for promotion through the playoffs is usually a good shout, with so many late runs of form leading to surprise packages competing for a place in the Premier League.

How Does Promotion Work from the EFL Championship?

In the EFL Championship, promotion works in two ways - automatic promotion for the top two teams and a playoff competition for the third and final spot.

At the end of the regular season, the two teams that finish in first and second spot in the Championship are automatically promoted to the English Premier League.

For the last promotion spot, teams finishing third to sixth battle it out in a series of playoff matches.

  • Third plays sixth, and fourth plays fifth in two-legged semi-finals (home and away).
  • The two winners face off in the playoff final at Wembley Stadium.

In addition to the English Championship promotion odds, you can also compare other outright markets, such as Championship relegation and the winner of the Championship.

Championship Promotion: 2025-26 Ante-Post Tips

Ben Dixon
Ben DixonTipster

It is entirely possible that those two could be involved in the general race for promotion, of course. Likewise any of these teams could push for the title. There are so many teams that could push for the Top Six this season, and that is a bit problematic, in the best way.

Coming just below the title fight, I think it'll be Birmingham City, and it is a decision that I have not had any ease with. There is a very big chance that the Blues could push for the title, if not just an automatic spot.

Investment, this summer, has continued at the staggering rate of last year, and the money being pumped into the club is staggering, and that is without even considering the period before the new ownership.

Around £8 million has been spent this summer, but it could rise to a lot more in the final few weeks of the market if other signings finalise. Then, there are the considerations to make about players arriving like Kyogo Furuhashi, Tommy Doyle and Demarai Gray.

They should be well up there this season; it is difficult to see them not being.

Sheffield United could well follow them up in the league table this season, and the Blades are one of the stronger sides in the league. Despite reaching the Play-Off final last summer, they still had a bit of a reset this summer, and this will bring hopes of going one step further.

Chris Wilder's sacking can be monumental for the club, and Ruben Selles will be asked to immediately improve results and get the team flowing in a more attractive way - which they should have done last season.

I was slightly tempted to put Frank Lampard's Coventry City a place higher this season, and I think they could well have a fantastic season. The squad, on paper, is superb, and they have strengthened last season's foundations.

Wholesale changes have not arrived, but they did not need to. Lampard proved his credentials last season and with a better start, he could have had them in a better position at the end of the year.

Finally, I quite like the look of Norwich City's summer and I think they could pose a threat to the top six. There are several other teams that could have found a place in here, of course. However, I think that they may have a little more than the likes of West Bromwich Albion, Middlesbrough and Millwall.

Liam Manning is a superb coach, and he can provide a bit of stability to the Canaries this season. Recruitment on the pitch has also been strong, despite the loss of last season's two stars. Around £20 million has been spent, with Manning laying the foundations for a promising future.

Championship Promotion FAQs

Three teams are promoted from the Championship each season. Two automatic places for the first and second-place teams, while the third promotion is the winner of the play-offs between clubs, which finish in third to sixth.

Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland were promoted from the Championship last season (2024/25).
