That means Sunderland fans in the UK will not be able to stream games that take place between 2:45 and 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon.

Only fans overseas will be able to stream those games, provided that they have not been selected for international television broadcast in a territory that has an overseas broadcast partner.

However, the EFL have also confirmed that clubs will be able to offer a streaming service to UK supporters for any games that take place outside of that Saturday window.

That means that all midweek games not selected for TV can be streamed, as well as matches moved from their Saturday slot for non-TV purposes.

Is there any team news ahead of Sunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday?

Sunderland’s major concern from the game against Morecambe was that Broadhead left the field with an injury during the first half, casting doubt over his possible play-off involvement.

The Everton loanee was a doubt before the game but Neil says the issue is unrelated.

“It's a completely different area I believe,” Neil said.

“The worry we've got now is we've finished the game with no centre forward on the pitch, I brought Stewart off because I knew the scores elsewhere.

“He's literally [our only striker].. I don't need to say anything else do I?”
