Where to Watch Hull City vs Middlesbrough EFL Championship Play-offs Final? Live Streaming, TV Channels, Start Time

The EFL Championship Play-offs Final will be between Hull City and Middlesbrough at Wembley Stadium. The winner of the match will get promoted to the Premier League and will play in the first tier of English football next season.

The EFL Championship Playoffs final was initially set to be Hull City vs Southampton after Southampton defeated Middlesbrough 2-1 over two legs in the semifinals last week, but Southampton were found guilty of alleged 'spying' on the Middlesbrough training session.

The EFL confirmed the decision earlier this week, and Southampton's appeal was denied.

Hull City finished 6th in the EFL Championship table, and Middlesbrough finished 5th. The two teams faced off twice this season.

The two teams won a game over each other. In the first matchup this season, Middlesbrough defeated Hull City 4-1 away from home. In the previous matchup, Hull City defeated Middlesbrough 1-0 away from home.
