Is Leeds United v Sunderland on TV? Channel and streaming details for pre-season friendly in New Jersey
The key TV and streaming details as Leeds United and Sunderland prepare to meet in a pre-season friendly
Leeds United are set to take on Sunderland in the second pre-season friendly of their summer.
The Whites kicked off their tour of the USA last week, locking horns with Championship outfit Wrexham in Florida. Joel Piroe and Sean Longstaff were on the scoresheet for the Whites, but a makeshift side fell to a 3-2 defeat to the Red Dragons.
Sunderland will now provide Premier League opposition for Leeds’ second fixture, with the Black Cats also preparing for the 2026/27 season stateside.
The result is not of primary importance in friendlies, but manager Daniel Farke would certainly prefer for his players to emerge victorious.
After the loss to Wrexham, he said: “I am always struggling once there is a loss to be in a good mood afterwards, if I am honest. But today, no complaints.
“We played against Wrexham who played a relatively strong side, a few weeks ahead in their preparation. If you have a look at the game, normally we should have won this game. We had more possession, we had more chances, should have scored also more goals than them but they were effective.”
Here are the key TV and streaming details as Leeds prepare to face Sunderland across the pond.
