Championship Betting

The English Football League Championship, known as the Championship in England, is the highest division in the English Football League (EFL) and the second-highest overall in the English football league system. With 24 teams competing, the highest two top-finishing teams are promoted into the Premier League, and the three lowest-finishing teams are relegated to League One at the end of the season. The teams that come 3rd – 6th place enter a play-off tournament, and the winner also moves into the Premier League.

The Championship is often viewed as one of the hardest and most competitive leagues to get out of, so there can often be a variety of teams in the hunt during the season, which runs from August to May. Each team plays twice against the others in the league, meaning each team plays a total of 46 games. Can anyone replicate Burnley’s dominance from last season that saw them return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, or will a dark horse lead the charge this year? Here at LiveScore Bet, you can bet across a variety of markets on the Championship.

How to Bet on the Championship

Put your knowledge of football to the test by putting a punt on the Championship. There are a wealth of markets you can bet on, such as who will win the Championship, top goal scorer, who will make the playoffs, who will be relegated and more. At LiveScore Bet, we always give you the latest odds.

Live Championship Betting

If you're watching the game, why not bet live? Our in-play Championship football markets include the result, handicap betting and more, and are available throughout the game. As the match progresses, the odds will change, but you will be locked in with the odds that were live when you placed your bet. So, if you know that a team loves a last-minute comeback, you could see good odds in your favour.

Outright Markets

The most common outright market to bet on is the overall winner of the Championship. Will favourites Leicester City or Leeds United get the top spot after being relegated from the Premier League last season? Or maybe Southampton will bounce back and claim top spot in this league. Sunderland got to the play-offs last season, but will they have enough to go one step further this season?

Other outright markets include top finishes, where you can bet on who you think will finish in the top two, six, or even twelve. There's also the opportunity to bet on the top goal scorer of the Championship.

Per Game

Every match in the Championship has a range of markets to put a punt on. Bet in advance to choose the winner of each match. You can also bet on total goals for the overall game or for specific halves with under/over betting.

Specials

At LiveScore Bet, we also offer a variety of special markets for betting on the Championship League. This includes which teams will be promoted, and who will be relegated. How will those that were promoted from League One from last season do in the Championship League? Will they move back down again, or will they stay in the Championship? Use your knowledge of the teams to decide your bet.
