The King Power Stadium is set to host a Championship clash between Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday today, August 10, 2025. This match marks the beginning of Leicester's journey back to the Premier League after a disappointing relegation last season. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday are striving for stability amidst off-field issues.

Leicester City enters the match as favorites, looking to start their Championship campaign strong under their new manager, Marti Cifuentes. Cifuentes has named James Justin as captain for the game. The Foxes had a promising pre-season, securing five victories in six friendly matches. However, Leicester may face the risk of losing key players, such as Abdul Fatawu, to Premier League clubs. Recent transfer news indicates that Ndidi is likely to leave Leicester, while goalkeeper Mads Hermansen's sale has sparked debate among fans.

Sheffield Wednesday's pre-season has been overshadowed by financial instability and uncertainty surrounding the club's ownership. The Owls faced challenges in arranging pre-season friendlies, even facing a player strike due to unpaid wages. Despite these difficulties, captain Barry Bannan has expressed the team's readiness for the match against Leicester. Henrik Pedersen was recently appointed as Sheffield Wednesday's new manager, stepping up from his role as assistant manager after Danny Rohl's departure. The club is currently under a transfer embargo, which has been extended to the winter of 2027 due to late payments. There is ongoing speculation about a potential takeover of Sheffield Wednesday, with American businessman John Textor expressing interest.

Historically, Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday have had a competitive rivalry. In their 23 encounters since 1996, Sheffield Wednesday have won 11 matches, while Leicester City have won 9, and 3 matches ended in a draw. The last head-to-head match saw Leicester claim a 2-0 victory at the King Power Stadium.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 PM local time. For viewers in the United States, the game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network, with streaming options available on Fubo and Paramount+. Sky Sports Football will broadcast the match in the UK.
