Background

Newly-promoted Coventry City is returning to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years after winning the 2025/2026 EFL Championship under manager Frank Lampard. Their first match back in the top flight is a challenging away fixture at the Emirates Stadium against the defending Premier League champions, Arsenal, on Friday, August 21, 2026.
