Rams’ 2018/19 Championship Opponents Confirmed

The line-up for the 2018/19 Sky Bet Championship season was completed over the weekend and Derby County now know who they will be facing over the course of the campaign.

Dropping down from the Premier League and into the second tier for 2018/19 are Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion and Swansea City.

The Rams will be meeting the three teams in a league fixture for the first time since 2007, 2011 and 2010 respectively.

They replace Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cardiff City and Fulham after the latter defeated Aston Villa 1-0 in the Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium - securing their place back in the top-flight after a four-year absence.

Sunderland, Burton Albion and Barnsley were relegated to League 1 at the end of the 2017/18 season and will be replaced by Wigan Athletic, Blackburn Rovers and Rotherham United – all returning to the second tier after just one year away.
