What channel is Southampton v Portsmouth Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Southampton v Portsmouth in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
St Mary's will host its first South Coast derby in more than a decade on Sunday when Southampton face Portsmouth in the Championship.
The bitter rivals have not met in the league since 2012, a 2-2 draw on the Saints' home turf, but are set to be reacquainted this term in the second tier.
Southampton have not found life in the Championship easy after last term's relegation from the Premier League, with their only win coming against Wrexham on the opening weekend, and are 12th ahead of this weekend's clash.
Pompey have enjoyed a strong start to their second successive season in the division and will make the short trip to St Mary's full of confidence as a result.
The last meeting between the pair saw Premier League Southampton hammer League One Portsmouth 4-0. Sunday's Championship contest is expected to be a much tighter affair.
