What channel is Forest Green v Southend National League play-off? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Forest Green v Southend in the National League play-offs, including TV channel and kick-off time.
A place in the National League play-off final at Wembley is on the line as Forest Green Rovers host Southend United on Wednesday evening.
The hosts are battling to bounce back up to League Two at the first time of asking after being relegated from the EFL last term and finishing 2024/25 third in the table, which earned them passage straight to the play-off semi-finals.
Steve Cotterill's team should be well-rested and raring to go but must navigate the visit of a Southend side with the wind in their sails after coming from behind to secure a dramatic 4-3 extra-time win over Rochdale in the play-off eliminator.
The Shrimpers are on the rise again after a difficult few years and will be well-backed in Gloucestershire as their 700-plus away allocation sold out in a matter of hours.
The pair could not be separated in previous meetings this season, drawing 2-2 at both the New Lawn Stadium and Roots Hall, which suggests Wednesday's game could be another tight affair.
