Derby County have received their fixture list for the 2024/25 Championship season, which marks their return to the second tier.
The Rams sealed a historic promotion from League One last campaign, with Paul Warne ensuring the side went up in the top two.
The Derby boss ensured that the Pride Park outfit wasn’t left lingering in the third tier for too long, following their financial troubles, ownership concerns and eventual relegation.
That, however, is only part of the battle as staying in the Championship and building towards a sustainable stay in the division is the next goal.
A huge summer ahead will influence that possibility, with the transfer market now open for business.
With the schedule now revealed, Derby can start plotting their course for the season ahead, so with that said, here’s a look at the fixture list in full.
