The Championship is back and Middlesbrough host West Bromwich Albion at the Riverside for what is the headline clash of its opening weekend.<\/p>\n
After missing out last season, both sides will hope to be challenging right at the top of the division this time around as they hunt a return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Middlesbrough finished one place and five points outside the top six in 2021\/22 but will feel that they can go one better in what is Chris Wilder\u2019s first full season at the helm.<\/p>\n
Watch Middlesbrough v West Brom on Sky Sports<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n They\u2019ve done some good business in the summer window so far, most notably the signings of centre-back Darragh Lenihan and goalkeeper Zack Steffen, but have not yet been able to solve their striking issue, which is a concern.<\/p>\n Last season was one that West Brom fans will hope to forget in a hurry but there is plenty of positivity now after a string of outstanding free-agent captures \u2013 with Okay Yoku\u015flu, John Swift, and Jed Wallace all top-tier Championship talent.<\/p>\n The Hawthorns faithfuls are less convinced about the man at the helm, Steve Bruce, but he will quieten the doubters if he can come away from Teesside with three points, and bloody the nose of one of their promotion rivals at the same time.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Middlesbrough v West Brom on TV and online.<\/p>\n Follow our dedicated Twitter page:\u00a0<\/b>@RadioTimesSport<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n For more football features check out:\u00a0Best players in the Premier League 2022<\/a> | Best football players in the world 2022<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Middlesbrough v West Brom will take place on Saturday 30th July<\/strong>\u00a02022<\/b>.<\/p>\n Check out our\u00a0live football on TV<\/a> guide for the latest times and information.<\/p>\n Middlesbrough v West Brom will kick off at 5:30<\/strong>pm<\/b>.<\/p>\n There are numerous Championship games taking place this weekend, including Sunderland v Coventry City.<\/p> You can watch the game live on\u00a0Sky Sports<\/span><\/a> Football and Main Event from 5pm.<\/p>\n You can add the Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football channels for just \u00a318 per month combined or pick up the complete sports package for just \u00a325 per month.<\/p>\n Sky Sports customers can live stream the game via the Sky Go app on a variety of devices including most smartphones and tablets as part of their subscription.<\/p>\n You can also watch the match via\u00a0NOW<\/span><\/a>\u00a0without signing up to a contract.<\/p>\n NOW can be streamed through a computer or apps found on most smart TVs, phones and consoles.

Middlesbrough lacks strikers, with Wilder keen to bring three more in before the window closes, but have strengthened what was already a solid defensive unit and solved their goalkeeping issue.<\/p>\n West Brom boasts some real attacking talent but the team are still getting used to each other and may well struggle to reach top gear on Saturday.<\/p>\n These two are expected to be contenders come May, but early meetings between such sides can tend to lack fluency.<\/p>\n Our prediction: Middlesbrough 1-1 West Brom (<\/b>11\/1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0at <\/b>bet365<\/b><\/span><\/a>)<\/b><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guide<\/b><\/span><\/a> or visit our <\/b>Sport<\/b><\/span><\/a> hub.<\/b><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<\/b>subscribe now<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
