Derby County'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 away at Charlton Athletic on Aug 15, and finishes at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers on May 1. The heaviest stretch is 3 matches in seven days, from Oct 31 to Nov 6.
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 Derby County's run compares with the rest of the division, the full grid puts all 24 clubs side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do Derby County play next?

Why do some Derby County 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 Derby County's 46 matches are still waiting on that, and are shown with a date but no time.
