What channel is Port Vale v Cardiff League One match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Port Vale v Cardiff in League One, including TV channel, live stream coverage and kick-off time.
Cardiff City will look to extend their winning start to life back in League One when they travel to Port Vale on Thursday night.
Having been relegated from the Championship last season, the Bluebirds came from behind to beat Peterborough 2-1 in their first third-tier game in more than 20 years on the opening weekend of the 2025/26 campaign.
Brian Barry-Murphy has made it clear that promotion is the main aim this season, and a win at Vale Park would put Cardiff top of the table ahead of Saturday's games.
Port Vale's ambitions this term are a little different, as Darren Moore's first focus will be on avoiding relegation back to League Two.
Vale suffered defeat in their opener against Rotherham United last weekend but will take the positives from a second-half display that saw them battle back into the game.
