The Blades will begin its 125 year anniversary celebrations with a 1.25pm kick-off against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The date of the fixture - Saturday 22nd March - is the actual day that the Blades were formed in 1889.
Following South Yorkshire Police's request that the kick-off time of the fixture be brought forward from the usual 3pm slot and after discussions with both the Police and Wolves, the game will kick-off at 1.25pm as an acknowledgement to the 125 years.
United's Managing Director, Mal Brannigan, commented: "We would like to sincerely thank South Yorkshire Police and Wolverhampton Wanderers for their help in allowing us to kick-off at 1.25pm. When we were asked to bring the game forward we thought this would be a good idea to tailor the kick-off time to help us begin what will be significant year in the Club's history.
"Sheffield United remain tremendously proud of our heritage. The game will kick-off a year-long celebration of the anniversary of the Blades and more details will follow in due course."
