How to watch Sunderland vs Bristol City in the Championship

All you need to know about how to watch the Championship clash between Sunderland and Bristol City.

Sunderland are back in Championship action this weekend as they host Bristol City at the Stadium of Light.

Tony Mowbray's men are looking to win a third successive Championship game for the first time this season. 

They were in fine form - eventually at least - as they dismissed QPR 3-0 at Loftus Road. That win took them to fifth place in the Championship and there is a feeling some real momentum is building on Wearside. 

If you can't get to the Stadium of Light for it, here is how you can watch the game.

How to watch Sunderland vs Bristol City in the UK

• SAFC Live (with VPN)
  
• RobinsTV (with VPN)

As usual, it is a lot harder to watch your team play if you are in the UK than if you are anywhere else. There are calls for the EFL to sort that out and we endorse them fully. It's an outdated and frankly silly way to approach things. 

The game will be streamed live of SAFC Live, although you will need a streaming pass and a VPN to access it.

RobinsTV is another option but the same restrictions apply and you'll need a log-in - and your money will go to Bristol City instead of Sunderland.

How to watch Sunderland vs Bristol City in the US

• SAFC Live (all international viewers)
• RobinsTV

The game hasn't been selected by an EFL broadcast partner in the US there will be no blackout restrictions on the Sunderland game this weekend. 

If you're interested, the international broadcasters have picked Luton vs Burnley, and it is that the game that will be live on ESPN+. With Luton just two points and one place above Sunderland in the Championship table, it's a good one to keep an eye on too. 

Anyway, the upshot is that International viewers can therefore watch the game as usual via SAFC Live.
