What channel is Coventry City v Sunderland Championship play-offs match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Coventry City v Sunderland in the Championship, including TV channel, live stream coverage and kick-off time.

Coventry City host Sunderland at the CBS Arena on Friday evening in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final.
The Sky Blues clinched fifth place with a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough on the final day of the season, thanks to a brace from in-form midfielder Jack Rudoni, to continue a remarkable rise under Frank Lampard.
Coventry were 16th when Lampard was brought in to replace Mark Robins in November – a decision that raised eyebrows across the EFL – and have won 17 of their 31 games since, including a 3-0 home victory over the Black Cats in March.
Sunderland head into the play-offs in dismal form after losing their last five games of the season.
Régis Le Bris's side have had little to play for since March, when they dropped out of the automatic promotion race but had a top-six spot effectively secured, but must now refocus as they try to jump-start their push for the Premier League.
They finished seven points above Coventry in fourth, but it is the Sky Blues that have all the momentum as we head into the play-offs.
