What channel is Lincoln City v Reading League One match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Lincoln City v Reading in League One, including TV channel, live stream coverage and kick-off time.
Lincoln City welcome Reading to the LNER Community Stadium on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 League One campaign.
In what looks like an open third tier, the Imps will hope to improve on last season's 11th-place finish and challenge for promotion to the Championship.
Reading hold similar aspirations this term, which makes Saturday's season opener an intriguing litmus test for both clubs.
It's a new dawn for the Royals, who have finally bid goodbye to nightmarish former owner Dai Yongge after Rob Couhig's summer takeover.
Remarkably, despite constant off-field issues, Reading only missed out on a play-off spot on goal difference last season, and Noel Hunt has strengthened his squad in the off-season.
