It has been confirmed which Championship fixtures will be televised up until Wednesday, September 20, meaning Sunderland’s trips to QPR (Saturday, September 16) and Blackburn (Wednesday, September 20) won’t be moved.

Sunderland’s home fixture against Cardiff has been pushed back 24 hours to Sunday, September 23, though, after it was announced England Women will be playing at the Stadium of Light that week.

Tony Mowbray’s side will kick off their new Championship campaign with a home game against Ipswich Town on Sunday, August 6 (5pm kick-off), which is the Black Cats’ only other fixture set to be televised during the first two months of the season.
