What are the Best Championship Betting Markets?
Popular, Leagues & Competitions, and Matches are just some of the headings you’ll find on our betting site. They make finding your preferred Championship betting markets a tap-in.
We keep things simple. One click or tap will add selections to your clean bet slip. Here is a taster of the markets that followers of this exciting game can take advantage of at Virgin Bet.
Championship Outright Winner and Promotion Odds
Virgin Bet introduces outright Championship markets before the season has even started. Our team updates odds on these markets as results come in. You can bet on:
- Who will be crowned the Championship title winner?
- Who will earn automatic promotion to the Premier League?
- Which club will secure a playoff spot?
You’ll find odds on all 24 clubs. We have you covered whether you bleed red, blue, or you just fancy a punt.
Relegation Markets and Individual Match Prices
Three teams are relegated from the Championship to League One at the end of the season. You can bet on a team to suffer this fate, even if it's the club you follow week in, week out.
Some markets are specific to pre-match and England Championship in-play betting. Consider these options when you wager on a midweek six-pointer or a weekend clash between two promotion chasers:
- Full Time: This is a good choice for beginners or punters with limited knowledge of the Championship. We ask you to bet on a home win, a draw, or an away win. The exact score is unimportant.
- Draw No Bet: We remove the draw outcome with this market. How does it work? You’ll receive your stake back if you bet on a home or away win and the match ends in a draw.
- BTTS: Will both teams find the back of the net? Pick “Yes” or “No”.
- Correct Score: Can you predict the exact scoreline at the end of 90 minutes?
- Double Chance: Select one of the available result combinations. Home win or draw, draw or away win, and home win or away win are your options.
- Total Goals: Do you expect a goal-fest or a drab 0-0? Bet on the number of goals scored by both teams combined.
Player Stats and Bet Builders
Our Championship betting pages are packed full of player props. These are some of the options:
- Shots
- Attempts on target
- Fouls

By the way, did you hear about our Bet Builder? It allows punters to combine up to 10 selections from a single Championship fixture. It’s one of many extra features available at Virgin Bet.
