Huddersfield fixtures: Sky Bet Championship 2019/20

Thursday 20 June 2019 10:10, UK
Huddersfield host fellow promotion hopefuls Derby on the opening weekend of the 2019/20 Sky Bet Championship season - live on Sky Sports.
The Terriers, relegated after finishing bottom in the Premier League last season, start their bid to seal an immediate return to the top flight against last season's beaten Championship play-off finalists Derby on Monday, August 5.
Jan Siewert's side face early reunions with fellow relegated clubs Fulham and Cardiff in August, a month which ends with a trip to newly promoted Luton before the first international break of the season.
Huddersfield have home advantage on their side as they host Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Leeds at the John Smith's Stadium before the festive period.
A trip to Middlesbrough on Boxing Day is followed by a home clash with Stoke on New Year's Day. Huddersfield have three home games in April against Preston, Luton and West Brom, as they look seal promotion, before ending the campaign away at Millwall on the final day.
