The opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Football League season is delivering plenty of drama, with several Championship matches producing early talking points. Lincoln City, back in the second tier for the first time since 1961, are ahead at Middlesbrough after Adam Reach struck in the first half. At Ashton Gate, Millwall have taken control against Bristol City, with Josh Coburn scoring twice, while the hosts have also been reduced to 10 men following Adam Randell’s dismissal. Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion remain goalless in a closely fought contest.
