What channel is Ipswich v Sheffield United Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Ipswich v Sheffield United in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
The 2025/26 Championship season resumes on Friday evening as two of the second tier's surprise strugglers – Ipswich Town and Sheffield United – face off at Portman Road.
Many tipped the Tractor Boys for the title after their relegation from the Premier League last term but despite a busy summer, they have made a disappointing return to the EFL.
Ipswich are winless and sit 19th in the Championship with three points from their first four games. As the Blades can attest, however, it could be worse.
Sheffield United are rock bottom and the division's only side without points after starting the season with four straight defeats. The decision to replace Chris Wilder with Ruben Selles after last term's play-off final defeat is fast looking like a costly mistake.
Defeat at Portman Road would pile more pressure on Selles but victory on the road against one of the promotion favourites could be the turning point for the Spanish coach.
