Is Burton Albion v Barnsley FC on TV? Channel and streaming details for League One battle at Pirelli Stadium
Barnsley are set to make the journey to the Pirelli Stadium to face Burton Albion.
It has been yet another thoroughly underwhelming season for the Reds, who sit 11 points adrift of the League One play-offs with nine games left to play.
Conor Hourihane’s men have won just one of their last six league games, failing to take advantage when clubs they are chasing have stumbled.
The club are in fact closer to the drop zone than the top six and standards cannot afford to slip much lower than they already have.
Fans may be relishing the prospect of focus being back on football at the end of a trying week. The club felt compelled to come out swinging after a report claimed a budget cut was being planned for the 2026/27 season.
CEO Jon Flatman said: “There is no expectation that any money will be taken out of the club, underlining once again the board's continued desire to see Barnsley FC prosper.
“We also want to address reports over the weekend regarding our playing budget. The figures quoted are simply incorrect.”
