EFL play-offs: Fixtures, times and how to follow with promotion up for grabs

talksport.com, 9 May 2023, 14:00
The 2022/23 EFL league season is finished, which means the Championship, League One and League Two play-offs are upon us.

Twelve teams across the three divisions will compete for the remaining promotion spots, and the drama is set to unfold live across the talkSPORT network.

The play-offs always throw up a surprise and some fantastic action as a season's work comes down to just a few games and, potentially, a day out at Wembley.

But who made it and when are the play-off games set to be held?

Championship

Luton Town, Middlesbrough, Coventry and Sunderland make up the four battling for the final promotion place to the Premier League.

The Hatters and Boro sealed their spot earlier in the season, but the Sky Blues and Black Cats had to wait until the final day to book their places.

As a result, Luton will face Sunderland over two legs, and then, Middlesbrough will take on Coventry.
