Burnley’s 2024/25 Championship fixture list in full as Clarets handed tough opener

The two recently relegated sides face off against one another at Kenilworth Road in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Monday, August 12.

It promises to be an intriguing encounter between two sides that will be tipped to challenge for promotion back to the Premier League.

The Clarets follow up that game with a home clash against Cardiff City, before a trip to the North East to face Sunderland.

The first of two hotly-anticipated East Lancashire derbies follows as fierce rivals Blackburn Rovers travel to Turf Moor on Saturday, August 31.

Burnley make the short return journey to Ewood Park on January 4, 2025.

The traditional Boxing Day fixture sees the Clarets travel to Yorkshire to face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane before another trip, this time to Middlesbrough, on December 29. Burnley then host Stoke City on New Year’s Day.

Over Easter, Burnley face a trip to Watford on Good Friday before hosting Sheffield United the following Monday.

The Clarets finish the season at home with a clash against Millwall on Saturday, May 3.

Burnley will line up back in the second tier next season after suffering an instant relegation from the Premier League.

They will be hoping their experience of the Championship will be as enjoyable as last time out, when they romped to the title under Vincent Kompany with 101 points.

Pressure will certainly be on the new man, once he’s appointed, to get Burnley back to the top flight at the first attempt.
