The key TV and streaming details ahead of Sheffield Wednesday’s trip to Leyton Orient
Sheffield Wednesday are set to mark their return to League One with a trip to Leyton Orient.
The Owls knocked Bolton Wanderers out of the Carabao Cup on home turf last week, but will be on the road for their first league fixture of the campaign.
Orient will be hosting Henrik Pedersen’s men, looking to dampen the optimism that has grown on the blue side of the Steel City.
Previewing the game, Pedersen said: “We have our style and how we want to play. Here, we have a big focus for who we want to be. We analyse each opponent to prepare ourselves to give the best performance tomorrow. They (Leyton Orient) are a team with strong culture and they are well-organised.
“Everyone has trained today, at different levels. Everything is going in the right direction for the fitness. It's positive, so let's see for tomorrow.”
Here are the key TV and streaming details as Wednesday prepare to do battle with Orient.

The blackout can only be enforced when half of the matches in a country’s top two tiers are played at the same. With only six Championship matches kicking off at 3pm and the Premier League yet to return, the blackout is not in effect.
