The Championship is heating up on Tuesday night with crucial matches that could significantly impact the top and bottom of the table, all live on Sky. Ipswich Town, chasing promotion, visits Portsmouth, who are fighting relegation, while high-flying Southampton hosts Blackburn at St Mary's.
Key games in League One and League Two are also on the schedule, with much at stake as the 2025/26 season nears its climax.

In League One, Bolton looks to cement their play-off spot against Stevenage, while Cardiff City aims to move closer to promotion against Huddersfield.
Leyton Orient seeks to distance themselves from the relegation zone against Mansfield, and significant games in League Two include Barrow's fight for safety against Oldham and the crucial top-seven matchup between Chesterfield and Grimsby.
