Charlton aims to secure Championship status for 2026-27 season
Summary

Charlton Athletic is preparing for the 2026-27 Championship season after successfully avoiding relegation last year. The club has historically faced challenges with "second season syndrome," as 14 of 33 teams promoted from League One were relegated within two seasons of promotion. Fan writer Paul Sullivan expresses hope that under manager Nathan Jones, Charlton can build on last season's success and target a point total of 60 or more. The upcoming season will test the club’s ability to stabilize in the Championship.
