Mansfield Town will look to upset Sheffield United for the second season in a row when they host the Blades in the Carabao Cup first round on Sunday.

The Stags caused a stir by getting the better of their Championship opponents in a seven-goal thriller at Bramall Lane in the third round of last term's FA Cup.

Louis Reed hit a brilliant brace on that occasion and remains in Nigel Clough's squad as the 2026/27 campaign launches into action.

Sheffield United are hoping for a better year after finishing in the bottom half of the Championship and crashing out of the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle last season.

It has been a quiet summer on the transfer front for the Blades, who avoided defeat in six pre-season outings.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Mansfield v Sheffield United on TV and online.
