The 2022/23 EFL Championship play-off final looks set to be a thriller at Wembley as two sides fight it out for the glory of Premier League promotion.
The chance of reaching the Premier League promised land is the ultimate goal on offer in the final alongside an estimated extra £265m ($328m) in additional revenue for the winning team.
A gruelling 46-game league campaign, followed by a two legged semifinal playoff, sets up a grand finale to the EFL Championship season, with the thrill of promotion countered against the heartbreak of failure.
The 2022/23 final could include a potential Premier League debutant clinching promotion with Luton Town among four teams in the running to join Burnley and Sheffield United in the promotion spots.
Luton and Middlesbrough were the first to confirm their spots in the playoffs, while Coventry City and Sunderland joined them on the final day of the 2022/23 season. The Black Cats edged out Blackburn on goal difference after the latter team shocked favourites Millwall 4-3 on the final day.
The final will see Luton Town or Sunderland face Middlesbrough or Coventry City for the right to play in the Premier League in 2023/24.
