Derby v Birmingham Live Stream Details
Derby v Birmingham is on Sky Sports Football, with the game also carried in 4K on Sky Sports Ultra HDR. It is the one Saturday lunchtime Championship game Sky have given a dedicated channel, with the rest of the 12.30 slate running on Sky Sports+. Kick off at Pride Park is 12.30 BST on Saturday 12 September 2026, in gameweek seven of the Championship season.
Derby are 22nd and a point above bottom club Preston North End, with one win from their opening seven competitive games. Any thoughts of another playoff push have faded quickly.
Home form is the root of it. They have lost three of their first four at Pride Park, the latest a 1-0 defeat on Wednesday to a West Brom side that played most of the game with 10 men.
Goals are scarce, with five in six matches and only Lincoln City having scored fewer in the division. John Eustace confirmed after the West Brom game that Carlton Morris will miss this one with a muscle injury.
With Patrick Agyemang also unavailable, that leaves Sammie Szmodics, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen and summer signing Henrik Meister carrying the load up front.
Birmingham lost 2-1 at Norwich City on Wednesday, their first Championship defeat of the season. Chris Davies was unhappy afterwards, with a Liam Millar effort ruled out for offside before Oscar Schwartau and Papa Diallo scored for the hosts.
Before that the Blues had drawn four and won one of their opening five, including a 2-2 with Wolves and a 1-1 at home to Southampton.
Travelling has been a strength this season, which was not the case last term. Wins at Swansea City and Wrexham are the evidence.
Patrick Roberts missed the Norwich game and is a doubt with a knock, while Jhon Solis is unlikely to feature. Alex Cochrane should come back into the side after being rested in midweek.
The head to head gives Derby something. They have won six of the last 12 Championship home meetings with Birmingham and lost only two.
