Burnley to kick off Championship season with Luton Town trip

Burnley kick off the 2024/25 Championship campaign with a trip to Luton Town on Monday, August 12 live on Sky Sports.

Both sides are preparing for life back in the second tier following relegation from the Premier League.

The Clarets wrap up the campaign with a home fixture against Millwall on Saturday, May 3.

Burnley welcome Blackburn Rovers to Turf Moor on Saturday, August 31 and the return fixture at Ewood Park is set to be played on Saturday, January 4.

Rovers will be looking for revenge after Manuel Benson's goal clinched the Championship title last time.

The other big rivalry is Preston North End, with the home fixture taking place on Saturday, October 5 before heading to Deepdale on Saturday, February 15.

The Clarets travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United on Boxing Day and also head to Middlesbrough over the Christmas period before hosting Stoke on New Year's Day.

Burnley head to Watford on Good Friday (April 18) before welcoming the Blades to Turf Moor on Easter Monday (April 21).

The club is still searching for Vincent Kompany's successor after the Belgian headed to European giants Bayern Munich.
