The season’s climax is set to deliver high drama across all four divisions, with several clubs still fighting for crucial positions on the final Saturday. In the Championship, three teams—Ipswich Town, Millwall, and Middlesbrough—remain in contention for the coveted promotion slot to the Premier League. Meanwhile, Wrexham, Hull City, and Derby County are still alive in the race for the Championship play‑off places, hoping to secure a chance at promotion through the knockout stages.
Further down the ladder, League One will see its own battles for both the play‑off berths and the dreaded relegation spots, while League Two still has a title, an automatic promotion place, a play‑off position, and two relegation places to be decided. Every match on the final day will be broadcast live on Sky, meaning fans can follow every twist and turn in real time.
In the Championship, the title race has already been settled. Coventry City have clinched both the league crown and automatic promotion, leaving the final promotion slot to be contested among the trio of Ipswich, Millwall and Middlesbrough. Ipswich currently sit in the driver’s seat, but a slip‑up could see either Millwall or Middlesbrough overtake them and finish second, thereby earning the promotion ticket. Ipswich’s opponent is Queens Park Rangers, a mid‑table side with little at stake, while Millwall travel to Oxford United, a club already condemned to relegation.
Middlesbrough face the toughest test of the three, traveling to Wrexham, who are still pushing for a play‑off spot and will be highly motivated. The Championship play‑off race is equally tight.
Wrexham occupy the leading position in sixth place, with Hull City in seventh and Derby County in eighth. All three clubs are playing at home, and both Hull and Derby face mid‑table opponents that have nothing to lose or gain. Wrexham’s challenge is more demanding: they must beat a Middlesbrough side that needs a win to keep any hope of finishing second and to guarantee a home second leg in the semi‑finals, should they reach the play‑offs.
Moving to League One, the picture is similarly intense. The champions, Lincoln City, have already secured the title, and Cardiff City have earned automatic promotion. Bolton Wanderers are the only club that can claim a guaranteed play‑off place at this stage.
The remaining three play‑off spots will be decided among five hopefuls, meaning every point and goal will be vital. The battle for survival is also heating up, with Exeter City currently sitting in 21st place.
They will be looking to climb above Leyton Orient and escape the relegation zone on the final day. In League Two, the stakes are no less dramatic. The league leaders have yet to be confirmed, and the automatic promotion slot remains open.
Additionally, one more promotion place via the play‑offs is still to be decided, alongside the two relegation spots that could see clubs drop out of the Football League altogether. The final round of fixtures will determine which clubs celebrate promotion, which enter the high‑pressure play‑off mini‑tournament, and which face the disappointment of relegation.
