Cardiff City's 2026-27 season
Every club in the division is played twice, home and away, so the schedule below is the whole league seen from one side of it.
The season opens at home against Wrexham on Aug 17, and finishes away at Preston North End on May 1. The heaviest stretch is 3 matches in seven days, from Sep 2 to Sep 8.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than local time in England — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. Matches whose time the broadcasters have not yet fixed show a date and a ? instead; those are settled about five or six weeks ahead, and a match can move day as well as time when it happens. To see how Cardiff City's run compares with the rest of the division, the full grid puts all 24 clubs side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do Cardiff City play next?

46 Championship matches: 23 at home at Cardiff City Stadium and 23 away, from Aug 17 to May 1. Cup competitions are not included.
Why do some Cardiff City matches have no kick-off time?
The Championship publishes its schedule a season ahead but confirms kick-off times only about five or six weeks in advance, after the broadcasters pick their matches — which can also move a match between Saturday, Sunday and Monday. 22 of Cardiff City's 46 matches are still waiting on that, and are shown with a date but no time.
What is Cardiff City's longest run of home games?
2 in a row, from Nov 4 to Nov 7. The longest away run is 2, from Sep 2 to Sep 5.
