2015–16 Scottish Championship

The 2016–17 Scottish Championship (known as the Ladbrokes Championship for sponsorship reasons) is the 22nd season in the current format of 10 teams in the second tier of Scottish football. The fixtures were published on 17 June 2016.

Contents

Ten teams will contest the league: Ayr United, Dumbarton, Dundee United, Dunfermline Athletic, Falkirk, Greenock Morton, Hibernian, Queen of the South, Raith Rovers and St Mirren.

Teams

The following teams have changed division since the 2015–16 season.

Positions by Round

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological progress, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
