The Championship Betting at BetMGM UK

From promotion outrights to match odds, you call the shots across our EFL Championship betting markets.

The Championship Promotion Betting

Our Championship promotion odds run from gameweek one all the way to the play-off final, updating after every gameweek as results, form and league position reveal which teams are pushing hardest for Premier League promotion.

Only three teams can earn top-flight status out of a field of 24, making for a highly entertaining contest – especially towards the end of the season as teams battle for a place in the play-offs and the chance to win the ‘richest game in football’, the play-off final.

The last few teams to win the Championship play-offs in recent years:

• 2024/25: Sunderland
• 2023/2024: Southampton
• 2022/23: Luton Town
• 2021/22: Nottingham Forest
• 2020/21: Brentford

At BetMGM we’ve got Championship promotion odds for all of the top teams, giving you the chance to name your outright winner alongside the clubs to finish in the top two and top six.

The Championship Relegation Betting

The stakes are just as high, if not higher, at the bottom of the Championship too, as finishing the season 22nd to 24th would mean relegation to League One.

Relegation betting involves choosing which teams you predict will struggle to make an impact, resulting in them dropping down into the third tier of English football.

These are the teams that have been relegated from the Championship over the past five seasons:

• 2024/25: Luton Town, Plymouth Argyle, Cardiff City
• 2023/24: Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town, Rotherham United
• 2022/23: Reading, Blackpool, Wigan Athletic
• 2021/22: Peterborough United, Derby County, Barnsley
• 2020/21: Wycombe Wanderers, Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday

Like our promotion markets, the odds in our Championship relegation betting markets shift regularly as the relegation battle takes shape.
