Sheffield Wednesday will take on Sheffield United at Hillsborough in front of the Sky Sports TV cameras for the second season in succession.
The Owls home derby fixture will now take place on Sunday the 19th of October, a day later than was originally scheduled with a kick-off time of 13.15.
Wednesday fans will be hoping for something like a repeat of last season's televised encounter in January which saw the Owls run out convincing 2-0 winners thanks to goals in each half from Akpo Sodje and Marcus Tudgay.
