Burnley are back in the Championship and once again looking for an immediate return to the top-flight.
Now under the tutelage of Nicky Hayen, the Clarets are looking to extend their run of consecutive promotions and relegations to a sixth year — though, of course, they’d like to end it next campaign if they return to the Premier League.
Burnley are among the big favourites to achieve promotion, so read on to get all the latest odds for their Championship campaign.
Burnley odds to win the 2026/27 Championship: Outright odds and predictions
Burnley have been relegated in each of their last three top-flight campaigns, but they’re the experts at bouncing back, winning promotion in their last four Championship seasons. Two of those promotion campaigns saw Burnley win the Championship, taking their second-tier title count to four.
Hayen’s side are 10/1 third favourites to win the Championship at present, which represents a 9.1% probability — showing just how competitive the second tier is.
Burnley odds to be promoted from the 2026/27 Championship: Outright odds and predictions
As mentioned, Burnley have become promotion experts, and haven’t failed to make it out of the second tier since the 2012/13 season, when they finished 11th — a campaign that saw Eddie Howe replaced by Sean Dyche.
Clarets fans won’t care whether or not they win the Championship as long as they get out of it, and right now, they’re a 7/2 bet to do just that.
| Team | Betvictor odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham | 8/13 | 61.9% |
| Wolverhampton | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Middlesbrough | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Southampton | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Burnley | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Millwall | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Birmingham | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Norwich | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Wrexham | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Sheffield United | 7/1 | 12.5% |
Burnley odds to finish bottom in the 2026/27 Championship top six: Outright odds and predictions
Of course, finishing in the top two isn’t the only route to the Premier League, with the teams in third to sixth contesting the Championship Playoffs at the end of the regular season. Burnley have only made it to the Premier League once this way, beating Sheffield United 1-0 in the 2009 final, courtesy of a Wade Elliott strike.
Burnley are a 5/6 bet to make the top six.
| Team | Betvictor odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham | 1/5 | 83.3% |
| Wolverhampton | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Middlesbrough | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Southampton | 4/5 | 55.6% |
| Burnley | 5/6 | 54.5% |
| Birmingham | 11/8 | 42.1% |
| Millwall | 13/8 | 38.1% |
| Wrexham | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Norwich | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Swansea City | 4/1 | 20.0% |
Burnley top goalscorer odds: Outright odds and predictions
Zian Flemming is Burnley’s standout pick to be the Championship top goalscorer this season. That’s hardly surprising, given the Dutchman netted 11 goals in 29 Premier League appearances last term, despite relegation. Flemming has also scored three goals in his first two appearances across all competitions this season, including a brace in a 2-2 draw against West Ham.
Burnley ins and outs
Burnley have had a very busy summer so far, with key players like Jaidon Anthony and Maxime Esteve leaving following relegation. The Clarets have been hard at work trying to replace them.
