The Championship is set for a thrilling Tuesday night, with crucial matches live on Sky. Relegation-battling Portsmouth face promotion-contenders Ipswich Town, while high-flying Southampton host Blackburn at St Mary's. Key games in League One and League Two will also be broadcast live, as the 2025/26 season nears its climax.
Portsmouth's home fixture against Ipswich has been postponed twice due to weather conditions, but the forecast looks favorable for the rescheduled match. The hosts have recently picked up five points from three games, including a dramatic 1-0 win at Middlesbrough, and will be looking to build on this momentum. Ipswich, on the other hand, enjoyed a significant win at Norwich and are in control of second place in the table.
A win at Fratton Park would take them five points clear of third-placed Millwall. Meanwhile, Southampton's match against Blackburn has been brought forward due to the Saints' upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
The Saints are on a five-match winning streak in the league and will be looking to extend this run. Blackburn, however, are struggling to move away from the relegation zone and cannot afford to lose at St Mary's. Other notable matches include Bolton vs Stevenage in League One, where the hosts will be seeking to solidify their play-off position, and Cardiff City's visit to Huddersfield, where the Bluebirds can take another step towards promotion. In League Two, Barrow will be hoping to move closer to safety as they host Oldham, while Chesterfield and Grimsby clash in a crucial top-seven showdown.
