Sheffield Wednesday given huge ticket allocation as 2026 gets underway for the Owls at Preston North End
Sheffield Wednesday fans have been given a huge ticket allocation for the New Year’s Day trip to Preston North End.
Wednesdayites are known for their turnout on the road, with thousands travelling up and down the country on a weekly basis in order to cheer on their troops, and it’ll almost certainly be the same in a couple of weeks’ time when they head over to Deepdale to face the Lilywhites.
Today it was confirmed that the club have been given 5,696 seats for the Championship fixture, and while it’s not quite as many as their fixture at the end of 2024 (5,716), it’s still set to be one of the biggest Wednesday days out of the 2025/26 campaign.
The news was confirmed on the club’s official website on Tuesday, with ticket sales for season ticket holders with 660 or more ticket priority points beginning on Wednesday morning. General sale will start next week on Monday afternoon.

Fans of the Owls are being put through a lot at the moment, with their winless in 14 games in the league and without a win at home for months. It will be interesting to see whether away crowds start to dwindle as Henrik Pedersen’s men trudge closer and closer to relegation into League One.
Wednesday’s 2025 comes to an end with games against Ipswich Town (20th), Hull City (26th) and then Blackburn Rovers (29th) before their trip to Preston, and Pedersen will be hoping to see a response from his players after the heavy defeat to Derby County.
The Owls are hoping to be able to bring in some new faces to help their cause in the January transfer window, but are relying on the English Football League giving them permission to do so.
