The Championship season begins Friday as Blackburn Rovers take on Derby County. The match is on TV. Here’s how you can watch the match live and streaming.
Last season was challenging for Blackburn Rovers, and it looks like this season might be even harder for John Eustace’s team.
Off-field issues could derail Blackburn’s progress under the guidance of Eustace, a promising young coach. The Venkys, the club’s owners, are soon facing a legal battle concerning the club’s financing, which could severely impact both its immediate and future prospects.
Should they lose this court case, the financial repercussions might force the club to cut budgets and offload key players, potentially including last season’s top scorer, Sammie Szmodics.

While Eustace remains a beacon of hope for the Rovers, he cannot perform miracles and may consider leaving if the club fails to fulfill its promises.
Derby FC
The road to promotion from League One was not easy for Derby, with manager Paul Warne facing significant criticism throughout the season. Nevertheless, they secured their return to the Championship on their second attempt.
Now, along with the other two promoted teams, Derby’s primary goal is to maintain their Championship status and establish a firm foothold in the second tier of English football.
However, they still have significant gaps to fill during the transfer window, particularly as they currently lack a first-choice goalkeeper and a central striker.
