Sheffield United fixtures in full: Birmingham City, Burnley, West Ham, Southampton dates, first Sky Sports amendment
Sheffield United’s fixtures for the 2026/27 season have been confirmed, allowing fans to start planning their away trips over the next few months
Sheffield United supporters can start to plan some of their long away trips in the 2026/27 season after the Blades’ Championship fixtures were officially confimed this afternoon. The Blades will start the season at home, hosting Birmingham City on August 15 in a game picked by Sky TV for broadcast.
That is a repeat of the opening-day fixture in 2021, just after United were relegated from the Premier League and lost 1-0 at Bramall Lane. They are also at home on Boxing Day once again, hosting last season’s beaten play-off semi-finalists and finalists Middlesbrough.
New Year’s Day sees a trip across the Pennines to recently-relegated Burnley, with the season concluding on May 1 away at Southampton. In terms of away trips, the fixture computer has thrown up two of the longest of the season in successive games.
United travel to Portsmoouth in midweek, on Wednesday, October 14, three days before they hit the road again to travel to Bristol City on October 17. A trip to the London Stadium is not something to look forward to for supporters but United go to West Ham United on March 17.
A first away league game since 1983 at Lincoln City is pencilled in for February 27, with all fixtures subject to change for television purposes. The full list of amendments will be confirmed later this summer, and is expected by early July.
Intriguingly, United are also in action on transfer deadline day, at home to Bolton Wanderers. The window will slam shut at 11pm again, with United hoping to have all their business out of the way well before that date.
