Is Sheffield Wednesday v Cambridge United on TV? Channel and streaming details ahead of Hillsborough clash

The key TV and streaming details ahead of Sheffield Wednesday’s meeting with Cambridge United

Sheffield Wednesday’s post-Henrik Pedersen era is set to kick off on home turf against Cambridge United.

The Owls were beaten 2-0 by Doncaster Rovers at the weekend and the loss prompted a change, as the club parted ways with Pedersen.

Wednesday’s sporting director Simon Wilson said: “First and foremost, I want to thank Henrik for his professionalism, commitment and contribution during an exceptionally challenging period for Sheffield Wednesday.

“We knew the start of this season would be difficult due to the scale of change across the club, but our expectation was always that we would develop as the season progressed, establishing a recognisable style of play and greater consistency in our performances.

“Although we have accumulated points, we haven’t seen enough progress in those areas. We believe making a change now gives us the best opportunity to establish those foundations and build towards the second half of the season and beyond.

“We remain ambitious about what we can achieve this campaign, and our focus remains on building a Sheffield Wednesday team with a clear identity, capable of delivering sustained improvement and long-term success.”

Former Rotherham United manager Matt Hamshaw is now at the helm on a temporary basis and will take the team for their midweek test against Cambridge.
