The Championship is the best league in world football and the season is back after the international break. You can trek the globe and not find a more unpredictable league full of such quality, drama, intensity and support. The EFL cannot be matched.

Leeds United are the favourites to go up in 2024/25 after bitterly missing out on promotion last season despite racking up 90 points during the regular campaign. They've started the season unbeaten after winning two and drawing two.

Relegated teams Burnley, Luton and Sheffield United are all expected to compete, but none are a given to bounce straight back up - and Luton's record of three losses and one draw shows just that.

Portsmouth, Derby and Oxford are the three promoted sides aiming to make the most of their returns to the second tier, but can any of them follow the example of Ipswich by springing up to the top flight at the first time of asking?

Fans across the nation will be excited to taste domestic football, and there's going to be more of it shown on TV than ever before thanks to a new Sky Sports deal that will offer over 1,000 live EFL matches on TV this season.
