How to get Championship Play-off Final 2026 tickets at Wembley Stadium

Coventry City and Ipswich Town are heading to the Premier League next season, and now the Championship Play-off Final will decide who else gets promoted to join them.

After 46 games, 24 teams have competed for the opportunity to play at Wembley Stadium this May and win the biggest prize in football.

Last year’s championship game was a nail-biter. Sunderland took a 2-1 lead over Sheffield United with a goal scored in the final moments of extra time.

Expect plenty of excitement this year, with Millwall, Southampton, Middlesbrough, and Wrexham likely to be the teams competing for a spot in the final stage – we anticipate two of them will make it.
