What channel is Sheffield United v Sunderland Championship play-off final on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Sheffield United v Sunderland in the Championship play-off final, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
The Premier League awaits for either Sheffield United or Sunderland ahead of Saturday's Championship play-off final at Wembley.
The Blades fell short in the final weeks of the automatic promotion race but roared back with a record semi-final victory against Bristol City.
While Chris Wilder's side are looking to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, it's fair to say Sunderland have taken the scenic route since their relegation from the top flight in 2016/17.
The Black Cats did it the hard way in the play-offs as well but Dan Ballard's stoppage-time winner against Coventry City will have the Wearsiders heading to the capital believing this is their year.
The Championship play-off final is widely dubbed "the richest game in football" but it will mean a lot more than just the money to the two sets of fans, who are desperate to see their sides return to the promised land.
