How many Championship games are left?

How we count games left

We count each league match once, using the latest match status. A postponed fixture remains outstanding; a cancelled fixture is excluded. Play-off matches are outside the 46-match regular season.

When the fixture list and games played agree, games left equals 46 minus games played. Maximum points adds three points for each remaining game to the club's current published total, including points deductions. This is an arithmetic ceiling, not a prediction of promotion or safety.

Figures are checked twice daily, at 06:00 and 23:00 UK time. A match that has just finished may still appear as outstanding until the next update.

Frequently asked questions

How many games are in a Championship season?

Each of the 24 clubs plays 46 regular-season matches: 23 at home and 23 away. That makes 552 league matches, with each match counted once. Play-off matches are separate from these totals.

How are Championship games left calculated?

We count regular-season fixtures which are neither completed nor cancelled. Postponed matches remain outstanding. We check that each club has 46 fixtures and that completed matches agree with its league-table games played before presenting a complete-season total.

How are maximum points calculated?

Maximum points equals the current published points total plus three points for each remaining league match. Published points already reflect points deductions. This assumes winning every remaining game; it is not a prediction or a guarantee of promotion or safety. We withhold the figure when the fixture list and games played do not agree.

Why do clubs sometimes have different numbers of games left?

Postponements and rearranged fixtures can leave clubs with games in hand. A game in hand is a match still to play, not points already won. Counts update after our next update, rather than live at the final whistle.

When is the last Championship game of the season?

Use Season key dates for the confirmed regular-season closing date and separate play-off dates. A club's last currently listed fixture is not proof that its complete schedule has been published.
