Championship 2025/26 title odds: Ipswich favourites

After a thrilling season concluded, Coral has released its Championship 2025/26 outright winner odds, with lpswich Town the favourites to win the title.

The Tractor Boys couldn't maintain their momentum in the Premier League after back-to-back promotions, but the bookies think they're well set to make an immediate return to the top-flight.

Southampton, Birmingham City and Coventry City are among the main challengers for this year's Championship crown.

Ipswich are favourites to win the Championship title at odds of 3/1. They had a disappointing campaign and were ill-equipped for the demands of the Premier League, finishing 19th with 22 points.

They've lost Liam Delap to Chelsea, but managed to keep hold of manager Kieran McKenna who will give them a good chance at bouncing back at the first time of asking.

Southampton, who recently appointed Will Still as their new manager, are next in the betting with odds of 4/1 to win the Championship. The Saints nearly broke the record for the lowest point tally in Premier League history, finishing with 12, so will hope that Still is the man to turn their fortunes around.

Two teams that earned promotion from League One and have star power in the boardroom will be looking to shake things up in the Championship next season.

Birmingham City are third favourites to win the 2025/26 Championship at odds of 5/1. The Blues set an EFL points record last season, winning League One with 111 points, and plenty are backing them to keep spending big as they aim to reach the big time.

Coventry City have picked up where they left off under Frank Lampard last season and are now odds of 9/1 to lift the Championship trophy.

Leicester City face the prospect of a points deduction for breaking financial rules, which may reflect their odds of 16/1 to win the Championship.

Sheffield United lost the play-off final in heartbreaking fashion to Sunderland, having been in the promotion places for the majority of the season. They are odds of 16/1 to win the title next season.

Meanwhile Wrexham, who are among the favourites to sign Jamie Vardy, are seeking to make history by achieving four consecutive promotions. The Welsh side are seen as outsiders at 50/1, but it would be a fairytale befitting of Hollywood.

You can also bet on the favourites to be relegated from next season's Premier League, with promoted sides Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland all tipped for an immediate drop back to the Championship.

The odds for promotion and relegation from the Championship have also been released on Coral and can be found here.
