EFL Final Day Live on Sky: What’s Still at Stake?

The season’s climax is set to deliver a thrilling finale, with several clubs still fighting for promotion, play‑off spots, and survival across the English Football League. In the Championship, Ipswich Town, Millwall and Middlesbrough remain in contention for the coveted promotion place to the Premier League, while Wrexham, Hull City and Derby County are still alive in the race for the Championship play‑offs. Meanwhile, League One will see both play‑off positions and relegation battles decided, and League Two still has a championship title, an automatic promotion slot, a play‑off berth and two relegation places up for grabs on the final matchday. All of the decisive fixtures will be broadcast live on Sky this Saturday, offering fans a full day of high‑stakes football.

Here’s a detailed look at what can still be decided and how each club’s fate hangs in the balance on the dramatic final day of the 2025/26 campaign. **Championship – Promotion Race** Coventry City have already clinched both the league title and promotion, leaving the final promotion slot to be contested by three ambitious sides: Ipswich Town, Millwall and Middlesbrough. Ipswich currently sit in the driver’s seat, but a slip‑up could see either Millwall or Middlesbrough leapfrog them to claim the second‑place finish that guarantees a spot in the Premier League. - **Ipswich Town** travel to face a mid‑table Queens Park Rangers side.

While QPR have nothing to lose, a loss for Ipswich would open the door for their rivals. - **Millwall** host Oxford United, a club already condemned to relegation.

This should be a relatively straightforward match for Millwall, but the pressure of a promotion battle can never be underestimated. - **Middlesbrough** must confront a determined Wrexham side that is still fighting for a play‑off place.

This is arguably the toughest assignment for Middlesbrough, as Wrexham will be highly motivated to secure a win that could also guarantee them a home leg in the semi‑finals of the play‑offs, should they qualify. The outcome of these three games will determine which club joins Coventry in the Premier League for the next season. A win for any of the three, combined with a slip from the others, could dramatically reshuffle the final standings.

**Championship – Play‑off Contention** Wrexham, Hull City and Derby County are currently occupying the top three play‑off positions, sitting sixth, seventh and eighth respectively. All three clubs are playing at home, which gives them a slight advantage.

- **Wrexham** face Middlesbrough, a side that must win to keep its own promotion hopes alive. Wrexham will be eager to secure a victory that not only maintains their play‑off spot but also ensures they have a home tie in the second leg of the semi‑finals, should they advance.

- **Hull City** and **Derby County** each play against mid‑table opponents who have already seen their seasons concluded. For these two clubs, the matches are essentially about avoiding any surprise defeats that could see them overtaken by teams below them. If any of the three slip, the battle for the final play‑off berth could extend to teams currently outside the top eight, adding an extra layer of intrigue.

**League One – Play‑offs and Relegation** In League One, the stakes are equally high. The top two automatic promotion spots have already been awarded to Lincoln City (champions) and Cardiff City (runners‑up).

Bolton Wanderers are the only team guaranteed a place in the play‑offs at this stage. The remaining three play‑off spots will be decided among a cluster of clubs that are still within striking distance. Simultaneously, the relegation zone is being contested by several teams fighting to avoid a drop to League Two.

The final day will see a flurry of matches that could see the composition of the play‑off line‑up and the relegated clubs change dramatically. **League Two – Title, Promotion, Play‑offs and Survival** League Two still has a full complement of outcomes to resolve. The championship title, the second automatic promotion place, a play‑off berth and both relegation positions are all undecided.

Exeter City currently sit in 21st place, just above the relegation line, and will be looking to climb above Leyton Orient to secure safety. Meanwhile, clubs positioned just below the automatic promotion spots will be pushing hard to claim the second promotion slot, and several teams will be eyeing the play‑off positions that lead to a final promotion showdown.
