The Owls are now just two games away from equalling a club record of 20 league matches without a win that was set back in 1975, with a heavy defeat at Preston North End on New Year’s Day seeing their 2026 get off to a horrible start.
Over 3,000 Wednesdayites made the trip for the first game of what they hope to be a better year for their club, but it proved to be a tough afternoon as Henrik Pedersen’s side were bested by the Lilywhites in Lancashire to make it 18 matches since their last victory.
They’re expected to travel well to Queens Park Rangers this afternoon for game two of 2026, but before that we thought we’d bring you some pictures from the stands over at Deepdale.
Our photographer, Steve Ellis, was on hand to capture some lovely snaps before the game, and you can check out the best ones below. Can you see anyone you know?
