What channel is Bristol City v Sheffield United Championship play-off on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Bristol City v Sheffield United in the Championship, including TV channel, live stream coverage and kick-off time.
The 2024/25 Championship play-offs begin at Ashton Gate, where Bristol City host Sheffield United in the first leg of their tie on Thursday evening.
The Robins have been one of the second tier's surprise packages this season and reached the play-offs for the first time since their Wembley defeat to Hull City in 2008 by finishing sixth on a roller coaster of a final day.
Third-place Sheffield United may have won 22 more points than the BS6 outfit over the course of the campaign but Liam Manning's side will take hope from their games against the Steel City club this term, having been arguably the better team in both.
Though the Blades missed out on automatic promotion by 10 points, they were part of a three-horse race with Leeds United and Burnley for much of the season.
Chris Wilder's squad is packed full of quality and it's no surprise that they are the favourites to win promotion back to the Premier League via Wembley.
Even so, they'll be desperate to take a lead back to Bramall Lane for Monday's decider and to settle their nerves.
