What Happened
Stoke City and Oxford United are set to face off on Wednesday evening in a crucial Championship match at the Bet365 Stadium, as reported by multiple sources. The Potters are currently enduring an eight-game winless streak, which has seen them exit the FA Cup and drop into the lower half of the league table. Meanwhile, Oxford United is also struggling, having not won in their last five matches, which has left them drifting further from Championship safety.
Why It Matters
This match is significant for both teams. Stoke City is desperate to end their winless run and regain momentum, while Oxford United needs to secure points to avoid relegation. With just over a quarter of the season remaining, both teams are under pressure to perform. Stoke’s last league victory was on January 4, and they are looking to capitalize on the opportunity against a team currently in the relegation zone.
What’s Next
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM on February 25, 2026. Fans can watch the game live on Sky Sports. Tickets for the match are available digitally until 10:00 AM on the day of the game, with no sales at the stadium itself. Both teams will be aiming for a much-needed victory to improve their standings in the Championship.
