The Steel City Derby returns to Bramall Lane this Sunday, February 22, 2026, for one of the most lopsided meetings in the fixture’s 137-year history. While Sheffield United looks to consolidate a mid-table position, Sheffield Wednesday arrives in a state of unprecedented crisis, sitting dead last with a negative points tally following severe EFL sanctions.

The power balance in Sheffield has rarely felt this skewed. Under Chris Wilder—now in his third stint with the club—the Blades have been steady if unspectacular, currently sitting 15th with 42 points. They enter the derby on a high after a 90th-minute winner from Andre Brooks secured a 1-0 win over Portsmouth last weekend.

For Henrik Pedersen’s Sheffield Wednesday, the situation is dire. Rooted to the bottom with -7 points after a staggering 18-point deduction, the Owls have lost nine matches in a row. They are winless in 26 games and haven't beaten their cross-city rivals since 2012. With the club in a period of ownership transition and staring at certain relegation, this derby is less about league position and more about salvaging a shred of pride.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
