Your complete guide to watching the Championship play-offs in 2025/26, featuring a full TV schedule of games coming up.
The Championship play-offs are a spectacle unlike any other – with four teams battling to reach the promised land.
After the rigours of a 46-match season and the drama of the final day, Millwall, Southampton, Middlesbrough, and Hull City are the four clubs still pushing for a place in the Premier League.
It all kicks off at the MKM Stadium on Friday, where sixth-place Hull host the Lions, who finished just a point short of automatic promotion in third.
On Saturday, fifth-place Middlesbrough host fourth-place Southampton at the Riverside in the first leg of their semi-final.
A spot in the Premier League is football's golden ticket and the four remaining teams will give everything to get their hands on it.
