Southampton'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 Watford on Aug 16, and finishes at home against Sheffield United on May 1. The heaviest stretch is 3 matches in seven days, from Oct 11 to Oct 17.
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 Southampton's run compares with the rest of the division, the full grid puts all 24 clubs side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do Southampton play next?
Southampton's next match is at home against Portsmouth on Oct 11. The full list below shows every remaining match, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
How many games do Southampton play in 2026-27?
46 Championship matches: 23 at home at St. Mary's Stadium and 23 away, from Aug 16 to May 1. Cup competitions are not included.
Why do some Southampton 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 Southampton's 46 matches are still waiting on that, and are shown with a date but no time.
What is Southampton's longest run of home games?
2 in a row, from Aug 22 to Aug 29. The longest away run is 2, from Sep 1 to Sep 5.
