Swans to begin season with Birmingham cup tie
[Huw Evans Picture Agency] Swansea City will begin the 2026-27 season with a home Carabao Cup tie against Championship rivals Birmingham City. The cup game will be played on the weekend of 7-9 August with the Championship campaign kicking off the following weekend. Swansea's most recent meeting with Birmingham was in January, when Patrick Roberts' second-half goal earned Blues a point in south Wales after Zan Vipotnik's opener. Birmingham, managed by former Swansea assistant boss Chris Davies, beat the Welsh side 1-0 at home last September. Swansea were League Cup winners in 2013, while Birmingham won the competition for the second time in their history two years earlier. Vitor Matos' team begin the new league campaign at Stoke City on Saturday, 15 August, while Birmingham travel to Sheffield United on the same day.
