The relegated Leicester City begin their 2025-26 EFL Championship journey against Sheffield Wednesday at the King Power Stadium on this Sunday.
After a disappointing Premier League campaign last season, Leicester are looking to rebuild under new manager Marti Cifuentes. The Foxes had an encouraging pre-season as they registered five victories and lost just one match in their six friendly outings.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday finished 12th last season, nine points clear of relegation zone. However, the team’s off-pitch struggles, like a transfer ban and staff wages being paid late, have been the focus ahead of the new campaign.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
