Things are heating up at the top of the table, with Millwall moving within a point of the automatic promotion spots after a 1-0 win over Derby.
Current second-placed side Middlesbrough are in danger of dropping into the play-offs following a shock 1-0 loss at the hands of Charlton, while Ipswich remain in touching distance despite their 3-3 draw at Stoke.
At the other end of the table, Oxford laid down a marker in the fight for survival after notching their third-straight win.
Here, Flashscore takes a look at all the big talking points from the latest Championship action.
Millwall make promotion charge
Millwall have quietly gone about their ascent up the table and now sit in third, just one point outside the automatic promotion places.
Their latest victory against Derby marked a fourth consecutive win and an impressive seventh triumph from their last nine fixtures.
The Lions have been one of the form sides in the Championship since the start of 2026 and continue to show all the credentials of a promotion contender - with an exciting blend of experience and young talent in their hard-working squad.
Millwall's side features talented youngsters like Femi Azeez, who is their top scorer with eight goals and also the best creative outlet with six assists.
His attacking talents are complemented by those of striker Mihailo Ivanovic, who also has eight for the season so far.
Defender Tristan Crama is perhaps going under the radar with neutrals, though, and looks to be one of the division's best in his position.
The Frenchman has played the most minutes of any Millwall player this season and, while consistently reliable at the back, has also chipped in with three goals and six assists.
The Lions are mounting a serious charge for the top two if they can keep their form up, and a smart January transfer window appears to have provided a real boost to their promotion hopes.
Millwall kept hold of key assets like Azeez and Crama while also adding experienced heads in Barry Bannan and Anthony Patterson - both of whom have been central to successful promotions or play-off wins in their respective careers.
The squad looks very promising on paper and is translating that to performances on the pitch as a dramatic battle for second place appears to be unfolding.
Ipswich draw thriller at Stoke
Another club in the hunt for automatic promotion is Ipswich, although their push for the top two has taken a hit over the last week.
The Tractor Boys have only managed to draw their last two games and missed out on the chance to capitalise on Middlesbrough's recent slip after only drawing 3-3 at Stoke.
That follows on from a 1-1 draw with strugglers Leicester last weekend. Had they won both of those games, they would sit second in the table.
Ipswich did all the hard work against Stoke to come from two down and lead 3-2 after an Eric Bocat own goal was followed by strikes from Jack Taylor and George Hirst.
That all came undone, though, after Milan Smit converted a 96th-minute penalty for the hosts.
Kieran McKenna's side can be prone to blips like those seen in their last two fixtures - something which could hinder their chances of a top two finish as we head into the business end of the campaign.
Oxford putting up an impressive fight
Things are starting to look a bit better for relegation-threatened Oxford, who have now won their last three Championship games.
Despite looking like likely candidates for the drop just a few weeks ago, the Yellows are now right in the mix for survival.
Matt Bloomfield's side remain in the bottom three only due to goal difference and have picked up victories against fellow relegation candidates West Brom and Blackburn in recent weeks.
Oxford's latest win was a 1-0 triumph over Blackburn in which Jamie Donley scored the only goal of the match.
With Sheffield Wednesday already mathematically down, Oxford are attempting to pull clear of two other relegation spots - and look set for a dogfight with the aforementioned West Brom and Blackburn as well as Leicester and Portsmouth.
The Foxes have endured a torrid 2026 so far, but recently moved out of the drop zone after drawing with Ipswich and beating Bristol City.
It's shaping up to be a thoroughly exciting fight for survival that could see two former Premier League winners drop into League One - definitely something to keep an eye on over the next two months.
Gelhardt nets stunning free-kick
Hull City striker Joe Gelhardt had a bit of a strange evening during the Tigers' 2-1 away at fellow play-off contenders Wrexham.
The Englishman missed a penalty, but also scored a delightful free-kick just a few minutes before.
Gelhardt curled an effort into the near post's top corner and claims our Goal of the Week.
Grimes excels in Coventry win
Coventry maintained their push for the title with a 3-0 win against Preston on Wednesday evening.
Midfielder Matt Grimes was the top performer for the Sky Blues, earning a 9.0 Flashscore rating after scoring one goal, creating one big chance, making 104 passes and six accurate crosses.
His rating was the highest of any player over the last round of fixtures, which makes Grimes our Player of the Week.
