What channel is Birmingham v Reading League One match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Birmingham v Reading in League One, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
League One promotion favourites Birmingham City welcome Reading to St Andrew's for their opening game of the new season.
Blues have splashed the cash on nine players and counting, including last season's League One top scorer Alfie May, since dropping into the third tier of English football for the first time in 29 years.
The club's ambitious ownership are eager to make amends for last term's horror show in the Championship and their latest managerial appointment sees highly-rated novice Chris Davies, who previously served as a coach for Ange Postecoglou, take the reins.
Reading's long-running takeover saga continues to drag on, although fans are hopeful they will finally see the back of Dai Yongge in the coming weeks.
The drama off the pitch means there have been no fresh arrivals to bolster Ruben Selles's squad, which finished 17th last season, and another challenging campaign in League One appears to be on the cards for the Royals.
