What channel is Blackburn v Derby Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Blackburn v Derby in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Derby County begin life back in the Championship with a trip to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers under the Friday night lights.
The Rams ended their two-season exile from the second tier of English football by gaining automatic promotion from League One last term, and cementing their place in the division is the aim of the game for head coach Paul Warne.
A number of new additions have been made to Warne's squad in a bid to boost their survival chances, with Dutch midfielder Kenzo Goudmijn, former Nottingham Forest man Ben Osborn and Swansea loanee Jerry Yates among the fresh races.
Despite boasting last season's Championship top scorer, Sammie Szmodics, in their ranks, Blackburn avoided the drop by just three points - and will, no doubt, be hoping for a better campaign.
Szmodics has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League new boys Ipswich Town and missed a number of pre-season matches as a result, which means new signings Makhtar Gueye, Yuki Ohashi and Andreas Weimann are likely to be tasked with filling the potential void.
