Cardiff City and Swansea City 2019/20 Championship derby dates revealed

Clear your diaries.

These are the dates all Cardiff City and Swansea City fans have been waiting for.

The South Wales derbies are back.

It is the first time the rivals have been in the same division since the 2013-14 season, when the Bluebirds were victorious 1-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium, with the Swans winning 3-0 in the return fixture.

Swansea have a new man at the helm in the shape of Steve Cooper, who will face a manager at the opposite end of the experience scale in Neill Warnock.

The coaches will go head to head first on Saturday, October 26 at 3pm at the Liberty Stadium.

The return fixture in the capital comes on Saturday, January 11 , also with a 3 o'clock kick-off time.

However, these times are likely to be moved for television purposes.

Cardiff start the season away at Wigan on August 3, with Swansea hosting Hull City on the same day.

The Bluebirds end the campaign at home to the Tigers, with the Swans travelling to Reading.

You can read the full fixture lists (Cardiff) and (Swansea).
