Championship Relegation Odds
The Championship relegation market works by bettors wagering on which teams will finish in the bottom three of the table at the end of the season.
Championship relegation odds shift weekly based on form, injuries, results and manager changes.
In terms of typical relegation betting strategies, many bettors will choose to back newly promoted sides, clubs in financial trouble, any clubs that have lost key players or teams with poor defensive records.
Note that some bookmakers also offer markets on who will finish bottom (24th) in the Championship as an alternative relegation market.
Championship Relegation Odds Explained
The concept of relegation is a straightforward one. Simply put, the teams with the fewest points at the end of the season go down.
As well as points, goal difference can have an important role in deciding which teams go down. If teams are level on points, the club with the better goal difference will be positioned above them in the table.
For example, Luton were relegated on goal difference in 2024/25 and Blackburn went down the same way in 2016/17.
Most gambling sites allow bets on one or more teams to be relegated and relegation multiples are popular with some football punters.
Multiples are simply bets with more than one selection, and in this case a relegation multiple would be a wager on one, two or three teams to get relegated.
Returns on multiples are calculated differently to placing two separate singles. For example, two £1 singles at 4/1 and 7/1 would return £5 and £8 respectively, including stakes – a total of £13.
However, if you combine the two selections in a £1 double, the odds are multiplied, not added. So, 4/1 becomes 5.00 and 7/1 becomes 8.00 in decimal format. The combined odds would be:
5.00 x 8.00 = 40.00, meaning a £1 double would return £40 including stake – a much higher return than the two singles combined.
The average number of points needed to stay up has increased in the last three years, going from 47 to an average of 50.
The table below shows the teams to have been relegated from the Championship as well as their points totals for the last five seasons.
Responsible Gambling
Online sports betting can be enjoyable, but it's important to stay in control and gamble responsibly.
The same applies whether you're using high street bookmakers, slot sites, casino sites, casino apps, betting apps, or any other gambling medium.
All licensed gambling sites in the UK are required to provide tools such as deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and self-assessment questionnaires.
These are designed to help you manage your activity and protect your well-being.
Many operators, including online bookmakers and new casino sites, will offer free bets or a casino bonus. While these can be tempting, it is vital to read the terms and conditions of any offer before taking part.

Rangers see off wasteful Panathinaikos to progress in Champions League
Leading 2-0 from the first leg at Ibrox, only another fine performance in the Olympic stadium from Gers keeper Jack Butland, who thwarted the Greek side in Govan, kept the tie goalless at the break. Filip Djuricic opened the scoring with a header in the 53rd minute but moments after climbing off the bench, Gassama, who scored after coming off the bench on his debut last week, levelled at 1-1 with a stunning drive. A remarkable start to the 21-year-old's Rangers career took the heat out the home side's fightback, although Russell Martin should not be fooled, his side rode their luck for the second time against Panathinaikos, who will rue a series of missed opportunities over the two games. In what was Martin's first away game as Rangers boss and only his second in Europe as a manager. He kept the same side which started last week at Ibrox. Rui Vitoria's side were without suspended right-back Georgios Vagiannidis, sent off in Glasgow for picking up two yellow cards, and his place was taken by Giannis Kotsiras. The home side bossed and battered Rangers in the first half, starting in the fifth minute when midfielder Anastasios Bakasetas drove just wide from the edge of the box following another corner. In the 14th minute, Gers' dithering defender Max Aarons was robbed by former Manchester United man Facundo Pellistri, which left the attacker one-on-one with Butland and the Gers keeper brilliantly blocked the shot. Butland then made another terrific save from a close-range header by captain Fotis Ioannidis, who had beaten defender John Souttar to a great cross from Pellistri. Panathinaikos defender Erik Palmer-Brown headed a Bakasetas free-kick over the bar from six yards before the unmarked Pellistri missed a sitter in the 28th minute, blasting high over from 12 yards after Gers skipper James Tavernier had conceded possession inside the box. Rangers' two real efforts came in rare attacks, attacker Findlay Curtis missing the target and midfielder Nico Raskin heading over, both from corners. Waves of Panathinaikos pressure continued after the break but when Duricic wrong-footed Butland with a header from a Bakasetas cross, the flag went up for offside. However, after a long VAR check, Italian referee Simone Sozza awarded the goal but more drama quickly ensued. Moments later, Gassama, the former Sheffield Wednesday forward who replaced Curtis after the goal, fired in off the post from 14 yards in a rare Rangers attack to restore the Light Blues' two-goal lead. Gers substitute Cyriel Dessers missed a great chance in added time when he failed to beat keeper Bartlomiej Dragowski following a counter-attack but it mattered not. Rangers moved into the next qualifying round and guaranteed themselves European league phase football of some sort this season.

'We've played a few different formations and got guys used to what he's looking for in different situations, and it's been good. He's just been progressing through the pre-season and the games and everything's working really quite well. The players that have come in are fitting in exactly what he wants to do.' Set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports, Hearts have their eyes set on the European spots this season, but will open their league campaign against Scottish Cup winners Aberdeen on Monday - a team who share similar ambitions. With both sides able to put down a marker early in the season, Gordon has thrown his weight behind the club's attacking firepower and explained why he is confident that it'll be his team that take all three points at Tynecastle, while he gave fans an update on his own situation. 'It's [his injury] more than a few weeks away,' said Gordon. 'It's not anything that's that close at the moment, but I need to keep working away. Everything this week was geared towards this game [his testimonial vs Sunderland], but now it's finished. I'll get back into the rehab this week, and keep pushing to see how quickly I can get back. There's no real time limit on it. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The boys are confident,' said Gordon. 'They put together a really good pre-season, took it into the [Premier Sports] League Cup. It was a big step up again [against Sunderland] and they've rose to the occasion and been fantastic. Every game that we've played, we've progressed and we look like a really dangerous team. We've got a lot of goals in us from different areas. I'm looking forward to seeing how the season goes.

David Gray names Hibs three stars who can fill Nectar Triantis void
The midfielder return to the Stadium of Light after impressing on loan at Easter Road David Gray insists Hibs can be proud of the platform they gave Nectar Triantis after all but confirming that the midfielder will not be returning to Easter Road. The Leith side were desperate to bring back the 22-year-old following the success of his loan stint from Sunderland last season. Even if the Sydney-born player does not get the chance to feature for the Black Cats in the Premier League, Triantis wants a fresh challenge with clubs from the English Championship, MLS and mainland European all interested. And despite facing a losing battle in his bid to re-sign Triantis as Hibs prepare for tonight's crunch second leg against Midtjylland, Gray insists there are no hard feelings. He said: 'We've also been very clear that it's not just Nectar Triantis, we can't put everything into one position or one player. 'So the hard work has been going on and whilst it was still a potential opportunity, you'd always look to try and explore it because of how well he'd done. 'But it was always going to be that with it being his second loan spell here, how well he'd done, his parent club getting promoted and what his situation was going to be. 'He was a pleasure to work with, that was one of the reasons why we wanted to bring him back in the first place. 'He's a real humble, hard working boy that's constantly trying to improve all the time and as a coach that's what you want as a dream to work with. 'I'm the head coach I've judged every week at 5 o'clock and what the result is, that's the immediate job is to win games of football. 'But my job title and my first thing is to make sure I improve every single player every day if you can, and make sure every player feels like they're improving all the time. 'Nector's a positive example of someone who came in, found a new position and has certainly improved over 12 months and that's a lot of hard work from everybody involved and the group of players he's working with.' And Gray insists he will not necessarily need a like-for-like replacement with midfielders Jamie McGrath and Josh Mulligan having already arrived this summer. He added: 'We've got a lot of quality in there currently in the building which is great. 'We've added to that as well with Jamie and Josh that can play centrally and still got Joe Newell to come back, he's someone that's been out for a significant period.'
