Cardiff City will host Welsh rivals Wrexham in a blockbuster start to the 2026-27 Championship campaign. The south-north derby - the first league meeting between Cardiff and Wrexham in 24 years - takes place on Monday, 17 August.

What's at Stake?

The match is a mouthwatering start to the season for both teams, with Wrexham seeking revenge after the Bluebirds beat them in a League Cup tie at the Stok Cae Ras in October last year.

The Season Ahead

Cardiff's first away match is at Derby County on 22 August, while they host Millwall on 26 December. The Bluebirds travel to Southampton on the first day of 2027 and face Preston North End on the final day of the regular season.
