Championship Promotion Betting Odds
ExpandEFL Championship Promotion Betting Odds for the 2026/27 Season
Last season, Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City were all promoted from the EFL Championship. But who will follow in their footsteps in the 26/27 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.
