Dates and times announced for Championship games inc. Leeds v Cardiff, plus Sky TV picks

Dave is a huge Leeds fan and ardent disciple of Bielsa ball. A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

The remaining fixtures have been confirmed for the Championship and Leeds United kick-off their remaining nine games against Cardiff a week on Sunday.

The game will be televised on Sky Sports and kicks off at midday.

The first game of the restart is Leeds' closest rivals Fulham, who face a really tough visit from Brentford on Saturday at 12.30pm.

That is also on Sky Sports and it will leave Leeds fans hoping for a draw or a home win.

West Brom take on Birmingham in the second televised game on Saturday, with a 3pm kick-off.

The massive game for Leeds against Fulham plays out the following Saturday with a 3pm kick-off.

The full schedule of Leeds' fixtures were posted by Phil Hay.

Now this has got us really excited. And we love how the opening fixtures have fallen for Leeds.

It means that we can watch Fulham and West Brom play on the opening weekend without any pressure. If both of those results go our way then the game against Cardiff will be much easier to watch.

Of course, the flip side is if both of them win the pressure will be back on Leeds.

Each club can only be shown on Sky a maximum of six times, with the rest available on a stream for £10 a pop.

The Fulham game will be on Sky too, which only leaves four more games from the last seven.

All games will be behind closed doors but at present, the plan is to play in home and away stadiums.

The first game back at Elland Road will be the huge clash against Fulham on the weekend of June 27. We can't wait.
