Is Birmingham City v Fulham on TV? Kick off time, channel, team news and how to watch EFL Trophy fixture

Birmingham City host Fulham's under-21s at St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park in their final EFL Trophy group stage game.

Blues know that a win would at least book their place in the Round of 32, whilst they would have to await the outcome of Walsall's match with Shrewsbury Town on November 12. Fulham if they win would eliminate Birmingham from the competition, and would book their place in the knockout rounds.

This is the second competitive match between Birmingham City and Fulham this season. The two sides met in the Carabao Cup and incidentally, Jay Stansfield scored for Fulham that night. He will now come up against his former club following his £10m move from Craven Cottage. Here’s all you need to know ahead of Tuesday night’s match.

When is Birmingham City v Fulham under-21s?

Birmingham City and Fulham meet on Tuesday, October 29. Kick-off is at 7.45 pm.

Can I get tickets?

Yes, and there’s an added motivation to do so. For anyone purchasing a ticket, it will contribute towards your away ticket status for next season. The Cup Ticket Scheme is not in operation for the fixture and so supporters will need to get their tickets from the ticket office or online.

Tickets for Tuesday’s game are priced at £12 for adults, £10 for seniors and 16-24s and £5 for juniors.

Will it be on TV and can I stream it?
