Wolves vs Blackburn Preview
Wolves go head-to-head with Blackburn in the 2026/27 Championship season opener at Molineux Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Friday 14 August.
Both clubs began the new season with victories in the first round of the EFL Cup last week. Wolves recorded a 3-0 home win over League Two side Port Vale, while Blackburn secured a 2-1 away victory over League One outfit Burton Albion.
Wolverhampton Wanderers endured a miserable campaign last season, finishing bottom of the Premier League with just 20 points from 38 matches to suffer relegation. The club has since appointed César Peixoto as its new manager following his time at Portuguese side Gil Vicente and remains active in the transfer market ahead of the new season.
Wolves ended last season with a 1-1 away draw against Burnley at Turf Moor. Cesar Peixoto's side had 36% possession and recorded four shots on target, with Adam Armstrong on the scoresheet.
Blackburn Rovers, who finished 20th in the Championship last season with 52 points from 46 matches, have added three players to their squad under new manager Tony Mowbray. Former Ipswich Town midfielder Sam Morsy was the latest arrival, following the signings of midfielder Moussa Baradji from Swiss Super League side Yverdon Sport and winger Jayden Fevrier from Stockport County.
In their final match of last season, Blackburn suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Leicester City at Ewood Park. The Lancashire club enjoyed 50% possession and registered three shots on target.
