Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking for an immediate return to the Premier League following their relegation to the Championship last season.
This is the first time the Midlanders have played in the second tier since 2017/18, and they’ll be looking for a repeat of that campaign, when they won the Championship.
Read on for Wolves’ odds for the upcoming Championship season.
Wolves odds to win the 2026/27 Championship: Outright odds and predictions
Wolves are the second-favourites to win the Championship this season, boasting the likes of Raul Jimenez, Jose Sa and Fer Lopez in a squad full of quality and experience. Only West Ham are ahead of Wolves in the betting, but that could change soon, with Cesar Peixoto’s men unbeaten after two matches, taking four points.
Wolves odds to be promoted from the 2026/27 Championship: Outright odds and predictions
Finishing second is enough to seal direct promotion to the Premier League. Once again, Wolves are second to West Ham here, with 11/8 odds giving them a 42.1% implied probability of earning promotion.
| Team | Betvictor odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| West Ham | 8/13 | 61.9% |

Wolves odds to finish 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. Wolves have been losing semi-finalists in the playoffs on four occasions, but did go all the way in 2003, beating Sheffield United 3-0 in the final in Cardiff.
You can back Wolves at 1/3 to finish in the top six, which is a 75% 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% |
Wolves top goalscorer odds: Outright odds and predictions
Raul Jimenez is Wolves’ top bet to finish as Championship top scorer at 10/1, with only Jarrod Bowen and Will Lankshear carrying shorter odds. The Mexican veteran got off the mark from the penalty spot on the opening weekend against Blackburn, but Fer Lopez is their current top scorer following his brace against Preston.
Wolves ins and outs
