EFL Championship Schedule, teams, End Date 2022/2023

The English league is known as the EFL Championship. The 2022–23 EFL Championship, which is called the Sky Bet Championship because of a sponsor, is the 19th season of the Football League Championship with its current name and the 31st season with its current league split format.

The season started on July 29, 2022, and will end on May 6, 2023. Due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the Championship will take a 4-week break mid-season during the tournament. The break will begin in mid-November and the first day after the World Cup will be held on December 10.
