Wolverhampton Wanderers are bidding to climb back into the Premier League at the first attempt, with the 2026/27 Championship season getting underway on Friday. The team will face Blackburn Rovers at Molineux in an eye-catching clash. Wolves are eager to win promotion, but they need to improve their squad before the transfer window closes. Raul Jimenez is back at Wolves after playing for Mexico at the World Cup, and he should be capable of scoring goals in the Championship.
What happened?
The 2026/27 Championship season promises to be extremely competitive, with several clubs who have previously featured in the top flight vying for promotion. West Ham United went into last season with high hopes of finishing in the top half of the Premier League, but manager Nuno Espirito Santo was unable to keep them in the top flight.
Why it matters for Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves are also eager to win promotion at the first attempt, but they need to improve their squad before the transfer window closes. Jarron Bowen's decision to stay with the club is a major boost, but their hopes of winning promotion will hinge on the business they complete in the rest of the transfer window.
What comes next?
The team will face several challenges in the upcoming season, including a tough schedule and competition from other teams. However, with the right strategy and squad, Wolverhampton Wanderers can achieve their goal of winning promotion to the Premier League.
