How to Watch York City vs Sunderland Live: TV Channel Info for Club Friendly

Sunderland begin their pre-season preparations for the 2026/27 season with an encounter against League Two side York City. This would be the 13th meeting between the two sides, and the first one since 1998.

When talking about Sunderland AFC, one can only sing praises about their resurgence in English football. A club that was featuring in the third division of English football five seasons ago, are now gearing up for their first European appearance since 1974 as they finished seventh in the Premier League last season, securing a UEFA Europa League spot.

The Black Cats achieved promotion to England's first division by qualifying through the playoffs, and have turned out to be one of the teams to look out for. They put up a tough fight against the big six of the league, and would like to have a continuation of the same in the upcoming season too.

After facing York City, Regis Le Bris' men will fly to the United States to face Liverpool, Leeds United, and Wrexham, before wrapping up their preparations with games against RC Lens and Stade Rennes in France.

On the other hand, York City are back in the EFL League Two after spending a decade in non-league football. They finished as National League champions last season by securing a late equalizer against Rochdale.

York City recorded a whopping 108 points from 46 games, which is the highest seasonal points tally in the club's history. The Minstermen have already begun their pre-season, with a win against Barnsley and a 4-2 loss to non-league team Pickering Town.

While a relatively young batch of players featured in the game against Pickering, several of the first-team players were back for the closed-door match against Middlesbrough U-21, which they won 6-0.

Post the game against Sunderland, York City will travel to Spain for a five-day training camp where they will face Al-Ettifaq's U-21 and senior squads.
