Watford play 46 Championship fixtures in 2026-27, 23 at home at Vicarage Road Stadium and 23 away, opening on Aug 16 and finishing on May 1. Every club in the division is played twice, home and away, so the fixture list below is the whole league seen from one side of it. The longest home run is 2 fixtures, from Sep 8 to Sep 12; the longest spell away is 2, from Sep 1 to Sep 5.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than UK time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. Fixtures whose time the broadcasters have not yet fixed show a date only; Championship confirms those about five or six weeks ahead, and a fixture can move day as well as time when it happens. To see how Watford's run compares with the rest of the division, the full grid puts all 24 clubs side by side.
Watford's next fixture is away at Wrexham on Aug 22. The full list below shows every remaining fixture, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
46 Championship fixtures: 23 at Vicarage Road Stadium and 23 away, from Aug 16 to May 1. Cup competitions are not included.
The Championship publishes its fixture list 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 fixture between Saturday, Sunday and Monday. 22 of Watford's 46 fixtures are still waiting on that, and are shown with a date but no time.
2 in a row, from Sep 8 to Sep 12. The longest away run is 2, from Sep 1 to Sep 5.
