Is Barnsley FC v Cardiff City on TV? Channel and streaming details ahead of League One fixture at Oakwell

Barnsley are set to battle Cardiff City under the lights at Oakwell.

Inconsistency has plagued the Reds in recent weeks, with Conor Hourihane’s men having won three, lost three and drawn one across their last seven League One games.

They were, however, victorious at the weekend as they edged past Exeter City to clinch a 2-1 win.

It was an important result, albeit one that was somewhat overshadowed by a protest staged by a group of fans against the club hierarchy. Tennis balls were thrown on to the pitch and post-match, Hourihane said it was not helpful for his players.

Cardiff, meanwhile, are licking their wounds after a 2-0 loss to title race rivals Lincoln City on Saturday (March 7).

Barnsley have not beaten Cardiff in nearly a decade, last securing a victory over the Bluebirds in December 2016.

Previewing the game, Hourihane said: "We're in a decent place, we've won three in four, our home form seems to be in a decent place this year in the main.

"It's one of the games we're going to have to be at our very best to get a result, but one we're looking forward to as well."

Here are the key TV and streaming details as the Reds look to defy history and get the better of Brian Barry-Murphy’s men.
