Full Sheffield Wednesday fixture list for 2026/27 League One campaign as Owls face opening day away trip
Sheffield Wednesday’s schedule for the 2026/27 League One campaign has been confirmed by the EFL.
Sheffield Wednesday will face Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road in their opening game of the 2026/27 League One campaign on Saturday, August 15, kick-off 3pm.
The EFL released the entire fixture schedule for the 2026/27 season at 12pm on Thursday, revealing Wednesday, who were relegated from the Championship last term, will start with a trip to the capital. There was a high probability the Owls would face an opening day away day after it was requested during the administration process for them to be away first to allow for more time for ground improvements to be made.
After facing Orient in their season opener, Wednesday will lock horns with Yorkshire counterparts Bradford City in their first Hillsborough outing of the league season on Saturday, August 22. They will round off the opening month of the season against Bromley at Hillsborough the following Saturday.
Wednesday, who will have a trip to Burton Albion on Boxing Day, will finish the campaign against Oxford United at Hillsborough on Saturday, May 8.
Currently, only the TV selections for the opening weekend of the season have been confirmed, meaning further changes to Wednesday’s schedule are expected. Games selected for live broadcast up to and including the end of September will be confirmed by July 2.
