With <strong>Jobe Bellingham<\/strong> and <strong>Chris Rigg<\/strong> combining for 12 goal contributions, the Black Cats are firmly in the playoff hunt. However, <strong>Anthony Patterson\u2019s<\/strong> costly mistake against Hull has raised questions about his starting role. A win on Friday could see them go 14 points clear of 8th place, making their Premier League return look more realistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday\u2019s season started with a bang but has since settled into a steady rhythm. Sitting 12th in the Championship, their playoff hopes are still alive but fading fast. Danny Rohl\u2019s decision to stick with the Owls over Premier League-struggling Southampton showed commitment, but results haven\u2019t been as rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>Three wins in their last 12 and a leaky defense have put the brakes on momentum. To make matters worse, their recent record against Sunderland isn\u2019t promising \u2014 losing 4-0 earlier this season and 3-0 at Hillsborough last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sporting News<\/strong> looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sunderland vs. Sheffield Wednesday<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>live stream, TV channel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to watch this EFL Championship match in the U.S.:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>TV channel: <\/strong>&#8211;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Live stream:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/paramountplus.qflm.net\/c\/2436205\/1007330\/3065\" target=\"_blank\">Paramount+<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This game is not available for live TV broadcast in English in the U.S. Streaming options for this game are available on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/paramountplus.qflm.net\/c\/2436205\/1007330\/3065\" target=\"_blank\">Paramount+<\/a>, which is currently offering a\u00a0<strong>FREE\u00a0<\/strong>trial to new members.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What time does Sunderland vs. Sheffield Wednesday<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>kick off?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This EFL Championship clash takes place at <strong>Hillsborough Stadium\u00a0<\/strong>in <b>Sheffield, England<\/b>\u00a0and kicks off on <strong>Friday, February<\/strong><strong>\u00a028\u00a0<\/strong>at <strong>8:00 p.m.<\/strong> local time.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how that time translates across the U.S.:<\/p>\n<table readabilityDataTable=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<\/td>\n<td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Kickoff time<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Eastern Time<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Fri, Feb. 28<\/td>\n<td>3:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Central Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Fri, Feb. 28<\/td>\n<td>2:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Mountain Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Fri, Feb. 28<\/td>\n<td>1:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pacific Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Fri, Feb. 28<\/td>\n<td>12:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>Sunderland vs. Sheffield Wednesday\u00a0<\/strong>lineups, team news<\/h2>\n<p>Sunderland aren\u2019t exactly at full strength either, with injuries stacking up across the pitch. <strong>Dan Ballard<\/strong> and <strong>Enzo Le Fee<\/strong>\u2019s fresh setbacks mean <strong>Chris Mepham<\/strong> steps back in alongside <strong>Luke O\u2019Nien<\/strong> in defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jobe Bellingham<\/strong> and <strong>Dan Neil<\/strong> will look to control the midfield, while <strong>Wilson Isidor<\/strong>\u2014who\u2019s been a goal machine with 12 Championship strikes\u2014leads the line.
