With the Championship season kicking off this Friday, who are the bookmakers backing to lift the trophy?
After a long two-month break, the excitement of the Championship returns this Friday with the 2024/25 season kicking off at Deepdale and Ewood Park.
Despite the disappointment of spending another season in the English second tier after narrowly missing out on promotion with a heartbreaking loss to Southampton in the play-off finals, Leeds United, under the guidance of Farke, promises to make the Championship a more thrilling spectacle with their exciting attacking style.
With an impressive 90-point season behind them, they enter this campaign as the clear favourites to top the league, a status reflected in their odds across all bookmakers on oddschecker.
Farke’s men will be on a mission to secure promotion this year, determined to pick up where they left off.
They are a best price of 7/2 with LiveScoreBet to win the Championship this season.

Who is the favourite to win the Championship?
Leeds United are the clear favourites to win the 24/25 Championship season at a best price of 7/2 available at LiveScoreBet.
Despite accumulating 90 points last season, Farke's men fell short of securing promotion, marking the first time in six Championship seasons that such a tally wasn't enough for automatic promotion.
The Whites have received 38% of total bets made through oddschecker on the Championship Winner market this past week as punters are optimistic Farke's men can repeat their impressive season last year.
Burnley are the second favourites to win the Championship, with the best odds of 8/1 available at LiveScoreBet.
Their relegation from the Premier League was worsened by the departure of their manager, Vincent Kompany, who was poached by German giants Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
However, they have secured the services of Championship expert Scott Parker, who will be hoping to replicate the success of the promotions he achieved with Fulham in 2019/20 and Bournemouth in 2021/22.
Luton Town are the third favourites, with odds of 12/1 at bet365.
The Hatters were the surprise guests in the Premier League last season and certainly didn't disgrace themselves.
Rob Edwards remains in charge, and having secured promotion once, there is confidence they can do it again.
