Oxford United 2026/27 League One Preview
Relegated from the Championship last season, Oxford United have adjusted quickly. Aaron Ramsey’s side have played fewer games than most and already sit 10th, with a 4-0 win at Leicester and a 3-0 defeat of Burton showing what they are capable of when it clicks.
Michal Helik and Ciaron Brown have brought Championship experience to the centre of defence, and Simon Eastwood has conceded only five in six games. Cameron Brannagan is the dead-ball authority with 18 corners, three direct free-kicks and a converted penalty, while Mark Harris and Gatlin O’Donkor have three goals each.
Twenty-second and 47 points was a chastening end to Oxford’s time in the second tier, but the squad that came down is stronger than most at this level. With games in hand on the sides around them, a promotion challenge is very much on.
