Bristol City fixtures: 2025/26 Championship games announced

Bristol City head into the 2025/26 Championship season with a new manager at the helm. They will be led by former Barnsley, New York Red Bulls and FC Koln boss Gerhard Struber. He has been picked as their replacement for Liam Manning, who has left for fellow second tier side Norwich City this summer.

The Robins finished 6th in the table in the past campaign. They reached the play-offs but were beaten at the semi-finals stage over two legs by Sheffield United. They now have the chance to bolster their ranks in the transfer window over the next couple of months.

Bristol City’s key dates

Bristol City will head to Bramall Lane on the opening day to play Sheffield United at 17.30pm. They face Stoke City at home on the final day. Meanwhile, they play West Brom away on Boxing Day and Portsmouth at home on New Year’s Day.

Are times for games announced?

Yes. Dates for the fixtures are subject to change. Matches get selected for television coverage closer to the time so can change day or time. The times are usually either 12:30, 15:00, 19:45 or 20:00.
