Wednesday’s players will return to start pre-season training on Monday, June 20, and the trip to Portugal will form a key part of their preparations for the new season.
The League One campaign starts earlier this year, with the first game on the weekend of July 30 due to a month-long break in November for the World Cup.
Sheffield Wednesday have today added another friendly to their pre-season schedule. The Owls, beaten by Sunderland in the League One play-offs last season, will travel to face Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium on Saturday 23 July, kick-off 3pm.
Wigan are the third warm-up fixture Wednesday have confirmed this month. They will also travel to non league Alfreton Town and League Two side Harrogate Town as part of their preparations for the 2022/23 season.
After the Harrogate friendly, Darren Moore’s troops will jet out to Portugal for a warm-weather training camp.
It will be the first time the Owls have travelled overseas for a training camp since the coronavirus pandemic. They will return to these shores on Friday, July 15.
