Wolves to host Blackburn at Molineux to kick off 2026-27 Championship
Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Blackburn Rovers at Molineux Stadium in the West Midlands, England on Saturday, August 14 as the opening match of the 2026-27 EFL Championship, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 a.m. IST.
Both clubs entered the weekend having won their EFL Cup first-round ties last week. Wolves supporters remain vocal about the club’s limited recruitment activity, but the squad’s display against Port Vale and the availability of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez provide optimism. Wolves are regarded as favourites for the fixture, while Blackburn have reported a productive summer under Tony Mowbray. Mowbray was satisfied with his players’ fitness at the Pirelli Stadium and this week added a third new signing, former Ipswich Town star Sam Morsy, to bolster the midfield.
Fans in India can watch the match live by streaming it digitally on the FanCode app. Broadcasters in the United Kingdom carrying the game are Sky Sports and ITV. Viewers in the United States can see the fixture on CBS Sports Network or via live stream through Paramount+. The match will also be broadcast live on SuperSport and SportyTV.
