When does it finish?

The last scheduled Challenge League match of 2026-27 is on Sat 19 Dec. Dates for individual games move — television picks, cup runs and weather all shift them — so treat the final day as the fixed point and everything before it as provisional. These counts come straight from the fixture list and refresh several times a day, so they stay right as games are played and rearranged.
