Swansea City begins the 2026-27 Championship season with a promising schedule, according to former player Andy Robinson. The team's first game is at Stoke City, which Robinson considers 'winnable'.
What are the expectations for Swansea City's start?
Swansea City will look to take something from their away games at Derby and Stoke, and beat Sheffield United at home, says Robinson.
The team's away form was a concern last season, with only seven wins in 23 league games. Improving this record will be key to mounting a push for the play-offs.
How does the schedule look for Swansea City?
The team's first home league game is against Sheffield United, followed by a trip to Derby County. They then face Watford and Wrexham at home in consecutive games.
