Football fans are in for a treat as Millwall face Sheffield Wednesday in a highly anticipated Championship clash at The Den this evening. The match, scheduled for Wednesday 26 November 2025, promises to deliver the intensity and drama that defines England's second tier.
The Stakes in the Championship
The Championship season continues to be an intensely competitive and thrilling spectacle. The ultimate prize for every club remains a coveted place in the Premier League, a move that comes with a potential financial windfall estimated at £200 million. This season sees the return of former top-flight clubs Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton, all expected to challenge for play-off positions at a minimum.
They are joined by ambitious newly-promoted sides like Birmingham City and Wrexham, adding to the league's competitive depth. However, at the opposite end of the table, the battle for survival is equally fierce. Sheffield Wednesday, along with Hull City, find themselves hoping to secure their status in the division amidst challenging circumstances.
