The final day of the English Championship could go down as one of the more memorable in recent history. Only one more team can secure automatic promotion to the Premier League after Leicester secured a top-two finish midweek. So, it comes down to either Ipswich Town or Leeds United to get promoted to the Premier League.
As things stand entering the final matchday, Ipswich is in second with a three-point lead over Leeds. A 4-0 demolition at the hands of QPR may have sunk Leeds United’s chances of returning to the Premier League at the first time of trying. There is still a chance for automatic promotion, but Leeds will require help.
The final day of EFL Championship games is on Saturday, May 4, at 7:30 a.m. ET. For fans in the United States, three of the 12 games are available on streaming or TV. Fortunately, that includes three of the most important games on offer. Those are Leeds-Southampton, Ipswich-Huddersfield and Birmingham City-Norwich.
EFL Championship Final Day: Who gets promoted?
The Leeds United game at home against Southampton is available exclusively on ESPN+. The battle between the teams in third and fourth is truly only important for Leeds. Southampton, regardless of what happens on Saturday, will finish fourth. As a result, the Saints will host the second leg of the promotion playoffs against whichever team finishes fifth. That could be Norwich, West Bromwich Albion or Hull City.
Leeds, on the other hand, can jump into second with a win. However, this scenario requires Ipswich Town to lose to Huddersfield Town, a team effectively already relegated to League One. Huddersfield did hold Ipswich to a draw earlier in the campaign, so that could be crucial as Leeds becomes a massive Huddersfield supporter.
