Is Sunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday on TV? Coverage details, live stream info, kick-off time and more

Sunderland take on Sheffield Wedneday at the Stadium of Light on Friday night in the first leg of their play-off semi-final. The game kicks-off at 7.45pm and Sunderland will be looking to build a lead to take to Hillsborough for Monday's second leg.

Alex Neil's side secured their play-off spot with a 1-0 win at Morecambe on the final day of the season, which saw them finish in fifth place in League One. The Black Cats go into the play-offs in good form, and on the back of a 13-game unbeaten run.

Sheffield Wednesday made sure of their place in the play-offs with a 4-1 home win against Portsmouth on the final day, which was enough for them to finish fourth - one point above Sunderland. Darren Moore's men have lost just one of their last 11 games.

The Owls beat Sunderland 3-0 at Hillsborough back in November, thanks to goals from Theo Corbeanu, Florian Kamberi, and Lee Gregory. But the Black Cats - under then-boss Lee Johnson - avenged that defeat at the end of December as they thrashed the South Yorkshire side 5-0 on Wearside, with Ross Stewart helping himself to a hat-trick, and Callum Doyle and Benji Kimpioka also on the scoresheet, to go into the New Year at the top of the table.

Now the sides must do battle again over two legs in the play-offs, with the winners going through to meet either MK Dons or Wycombe Wanderers in the final at Wembley on Saturday, May 21.
