In the Championship's opening weekend:
● Watford's 4-0 win against QPR was their joint-biggest victory in their opening game of a Football League campaign, equalling a 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers in 1937, and a 5-1 win against Southport in 1958.

● Since the start of the 2020-21 campaign, Plymouth have won more home league games than any other side in the top four tiers of English football (46).

● Romain Esse (18 years and 84 days) became the first player aged 18 or under to score a league goal for Millwall since Fred Onyedinma against Wigan in September 2015.

● Blackburn Rovers have won their opening league game in three consecutive seasons for the first time since doing so between 1958-59 and 1960-61.

● Stoke won their opening league match for just the second time in the last 14 seasons, while this was the first time they'd scored 4+ goals on the opening weekend since 1957-58 (4-1 v Middlesbrough).
