    WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S EFL PODCAST!This season sees a brand new weekly EFL podcast from Sporting Life and the team behind our Thursday show, This Week's Acca.A combination of Tom Carnduff, Joe Townsend, Jake Osgathorpe, Jimmy ‘The Punt' Cantrill and Gab Sutton will be spending their weekends up and down the country, from Exeter to Middlesbrough, so we thought why not get some of the lads together every Monday to pick through the latest action for an EFL podcast, highlighting what they spotted and any "in case you missed it" moments.Opening weekend saw Tom dispatched to Grimsby, arriving home with an inflatable haddock, via chance encounters with a club owner and a couple of EFL players who shared the same train home.He and Joe also discuss Bolton, Stockport, Luton, MK Dons, Barnet, Oldham, Harrogate and the result of our first accumulator of 2025/26.If you have any questions, comments or your own observations please add them to the comments or email thisweeksacca@sportinglife.com

    The EFL is back - 2025/26 season is here and the Championship returns from August 8. Here at Sporting Life we cannot wait. We've previewed League Two and League One and now it's the turn of the second tier. Ipswich Town, Southampton and Leicester City return from the Premier League, while Birmingham City, Wrexham and Charlton arrive from League One with momentum after impressive campaigns. Sheffield United suffered play-off heartache and swapped Chris Wilder for Ruben Selles while Frank Lampard's Coventry also saw their season end in disappointment as they finished in the top six. Norwich have a new manager in Liam Manning, Millwall look a force under Alex Neil. While at the bottom, it's expected to be a long and tough season for Sheffield Wednesday with their off field problems and Danny Rohl's departure. Hull also look in trouble while Preston, Derby, Stoke and Oxford will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their 24/25 relegation battle. Join This Week's Acca's Tom Carnduff and Joe Townsend to look ahead to what promises to be another exciting and eventful season in the EFL's top tier.
