With just 4 games to go in the Championship no team is mathematically guaranteed to be in the division next season.
It is still possible for every side to either get promoted/make the playoffs or get relegated.9 -
Excellent point. In fact, Swansea, Norwich and Sheffield Wednesday are still capable, mathematically, of going up or down.DyerConsequences said:With just 4 games to go in the Championship no team is mathematically guaranteed to be in the division next season.

Funnily enough, Lincoln are the only side in League One who can't go up or down. And in League Two, with 4 games to go, any of 8 clubs can still be champions. It's been one of those seasons of mediocrity in the EFL and probably demonstrates quite why so many teams fail to hold their own these days when they get promoted.2

If Doncaster lose at Notts County on Saturday and Port Vale fail to beat Gillingham the Champions of the fourth tier will have the second lowest points total in the 3 points for a win era (excluding the COVID season).
The only team to ever win the fourth tier with lower than Doncaster's current total of 81 points was Shrewsbury with 79 in 1993/94 (and Shrewsbury only played 42 games, not 46).
