There are few more exciting competitions in world soccer than the Championship. The second-tier competition in England offers the top two teams in the standings an opportunity to join the Premier League, while the teams that finish between third and six will take part in the unpredictable playoffs.

Leicester City gained promotion as champions last season, while Ipswich and Southampton joined the Foxes after finishing second and claiming success in the playoffs, respectively. Due to their relegations from the top-flight, Burnley, Sheffield United, and Luton Town will be back in the second tier this term.

Teams gaining back-to-back promotions have been a common trend in recent seasons, with Ipswich being the most recent to achieve that feat last term. Portsmouth, Derby County, and Oxford United will be hoping to maintain their trend in the upcoming season.

A number of competitive teams from the previous campaign will also be interesting rivals in the battle to win the Championship this term. West Bromwich Albion have transitioned throughout the summer, while Coventry and Hull City will both have their targets on at least a top-six finish in the second-tier.
