Norwich vs West Brom Match Summary
Competition | English Championship |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 15 August 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Norwich, Carrow Road |
The English Championship season gets under way at Carrow Road as Norwich host West Brom, two sides who both opened with cup wins.
Norwich go in as home favourites after Philippe Clement's summer rebuild, with new faces bedding in following a bright end to last term despite their injury problems.
West Brom arrive under James Morrison, who steered them clear of trouble last season and travels east with fresh ambition and a striker already among the goals.
The recent head-to-head reads heavily in Norwich's favour, and their record against the Baggies makes this a fixture the Canaries will fancy from the off.
Norwich vs West Brom Form
Norwich set the tone with a 4-1 EFL Cup first-round hammering of MK Dons, a result that gave Clement plenty to smile about. The Canaries impressed at times last term and have added quality this summer, and Andre Brooks marked his debut with a goal. They ranked 12th for form heading in.
West Brom matched that cup form with their own 4-1 win away at Rotherham in the first round. Jimmy-Jay Morgan announced himself with a brace and looks set to start, while Felix Myhre pushes for a full debut. The Baggies sit 21st in the form table, so consistency remains the question.

West Brom
Morrison could hand Felix Myhre a full West Brom debut after he impressed off the bench last time out. Jimmy-Jay Morgan starts on the back of his brace against Rotherham, while Tammer Bany's fitness is in doubt after another disrupted pre-season.
