Hull City vs Preston North End LIVE: Championship result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Hull City face Preston North End in the Championship today.
English football's second tier is one of the most-watched leagues in Europe with a relentless fixture schedule and the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer combining to make it one of the most dramatic and exciting competitions in world football.
Burnley were relegated from the top tier in 2022 but return refreshed and hopeful of making it back and equally Watford no doubt enjoyed their time in the Premier League too and are also keen to return.
Norwich know what it takes to earn promotion from the Championship and will again be one of the favourites to do it again with one of the best squads in the division.
It isn't all about the battle for promotion, either, with Wigan, Rotherham and play-off winners Sunderland hoping their ascensions from League One aren't short-lived as they battle to avoid the drop at the bottom.

RL on substitutions: “Bambo and Troy definitely made an impact when they came on at half-time which is what we needed, it was 50/50 whether we started Troy but after being out for four months we didn’t want to risk him going again from the start after Wednesday night.” #pnefc

RL: “Second half was more like a Championship game and it was two teams who were trying to get three points, first half was nowhere near the levels from both teams but the second half was a lot better.” #pnefc

RL: “I thought a point was fair, we nearly nicked it but you can’t start games like we did in the first half, we had opportunities to win it but it’s a good point in the end away from home to build on the point from midweek with ten men.” #pnefc
