Sunderland AFC has announced several updates for Black Cats members this week, including changes to ticketing ballots and opportunities to engage with the club.
Ticketing and Ballot Changes
The club is awaiting confirmation of ticket allocation from SCU Torreense for the Europa League fixture on 15 October (kick-off 17:45). Full sales details, including prices, ballot windows, and on-sale dates, will be published once this information is received.
Following member feedback, the Black Cats Membership Home Ballot will soon allow successful members to select their own seats instead of receiving automatic allocations. This new ballot system will come into effect for the Chelsea home fixture on Saturday 7 November and will apply to all home ballots for the remainder of the 2026/27 season across all competitions. Information regarding ballots for away matches at Bournemouth and the home game against Leeds will be announced in due course.
Exclusive Member Content
The digital matchday programme from the Europa League tie versus AK Alkmaar is now available to members. Match replays from the Wednesday Europa League game against AZ Alkmaar and the weekend fixture against Manchester City are also live. Digital programmes will go live 48 hours after each fixture.
Manager Q&A and Competitions
Members can submit questions for manager Régis Le Bris to answer in a Q&A celebrating his 100 games in charge. Questions must be submitted by 9am on Wednesday 23 September via the link in the Membership Monday email.
The club is running a competition to win a 2026/27 home shirt signed by Enzo Le Fée, closing at 10am on 6 October. Members can also join the 2027/28 season ticket waiting list and book stadium tours with 25% discount.
