Sheffield Wednesday v Southampton Championship kick-off time, TV channel, live stream

Championship football returns on Friday night as Sheffield Wednesday host Southampton at Hillsborough.

Sheffield Wednesday secured promotion from League One last season through the playoffs, but they've had a hectic summer, with Xisco Muñoz replacing Darren Moore in the dugout.

Muñoz's men have had a poor pre-season, however, and they won just one of their seven outings in July. They'll need to find form quickly if they are to have a decent campaign in the Championship.

Southampton, who appointed Russell Martin this summer after finishing bottom of the Premier League last season, will be desperate to secure instant promotion.

However, it remains to be seen whether the Saints will have captain James Ward-Prowse at St Mary's this season, with the midfielder tipped to replace Declan Rice at West Ham.
