Norwich City begin their 2022/23 Championship season with a long haul trip to Cardiff City.

Dean Smith will take the Canaries to face former City striker Steve Morison's Bluebirds on Saturday July 30 (3pm kick-off). The Welsh club finished 18th last season, with current Norwich striker Jordan Hugill ending the campaign on loan at the Cardiff City stadium.

City will be among the promotion favourites following relegation from the Premier League after winning the Championship title on their two previous attempts.

Wigan provide the first opposition at Carrow Road on the weekend of August 6.

City's festive spell includes a trip to Luton Town on Boxing Day and a New Year's Day home clash with Watford.

Norwich wrap up their regular season at home to Blackpool on the weekend of May 6 2023.

The domestic season in the Championship will pause for the World Cup in Qatar after Norwich's home league game against Middlesbrough on November 12, and resume away at Russell Martin's Swansea City on December 10.

Sky Sports confirmed their opening weekend live televised picks shortly after the fixtures were released, with City's Cardiff game unaltered.

Huddersfield will host Burnley on Friday July 29 in the season curtain raiser.

Norwich will be in the draw for round one of the League Cup later on Thursday. With the ties taking place the week commencing August 7.
