Charlton Look to Bounce Back in League One
Charlton kick off their fifth consecutive season in League One with an away match against Wigan on August 10, 2024. The Addicks will be hoping for a much-improved campaign after a historically bad season that saw them firmly in a relegation battle before Nathan Jones took charge in February.
During the 2023/24 season, Charlton went an alarming 18 games without a win, but a 14-game unbeaten run in League One moved them towards safety, even if ten of those were draws. The club finished a disappointing 16th in the table, their worst campaign in 98 years.
“Charlton Football Club will be looking to put the disappointments of the previous season behind them and mount a serious challenge for promotion back to the Championship.”
However, Alfie May finished as the top scorer in League One, and he will be hoping to hit the ground running in the new season. There is little in the way of London rivalries for the Addicks, but they will host Leyton Orient early on, hosting the Os in their second game on August 17. The reverse fixture is scheduled for March 1, 2025.
It will be a typically hectic festive period for Charlton, with Jones’ side hosting Cambridge on Boxing Day and then Wycombe to bring an end to 2024. The first match of the new year comes away at Crawley, and Charlton will hope to be in the play-off picture by the time the run-in comes around. The season comes to an end at home to Burton Albion on May 3, 2025.
With a new-look squad and a manager who has had time to settle in, the Addicks faithful will be hoping for a much more successful 2024/25 campaign.
