Check out how to watch Preston v Sheffield United in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Sheffield United begin their bid to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking with a trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End under the Friday night lights.
A disastrous 2023/24 campaign saw the Blades finish bottom of the top-flight pack after bagging just 16 points from 38 games, and Chris Wilder faces a serious job to shift the dial towards a promotion push.
The signings of Wales international striker Kieffer Moore and former Coventry City playmaker Callum O'Hare provide Sheffield United with fresh attacking impetus, however, while fellow new recruit Harrison Burrows offers an outlet from left-back.
Perennial mid-table outfit Preston threatened to bag a spot in last season's Championship play-offs before a string of defeats during the run-in saw them slump to a 10th-place finish.
A quiet summer transfer window has only resulted in the additions of midfielders Sam Greenwood and Stefán Teitur Thórdarson, and Ryan Lowe's squad head into the campaign off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Everton in their final pre-season fixture last weekend.
