When is the Leeds United vs Southampton EFL Championship Playoff Final? Date, time, venue for Premier League 2024 promotion match

The EFL Championship season has almost run its course, with only the play-off final to come in 2023/24.

Southampton secured their place in the promotion play-offs after a 3-1 win over West Brom on 17 May. Adam Armstrong scored twice for Saints, who are looking for an immediate return to the Premier League after last season’s relegation.

They will face Leeds United, who defeated Norwich City in the second leg of the semi-final. Like Southampton, Leeds dropped out of the top flight at the end of 2022/23 and are looking for a place back in English football’s top flight at the first time of asking.

The permutations of the play-off final are simple: the winner of the game, whether in normal time, extra time or penalties, will play Premier League football in 2024/25. The losing team will remain in the championship for at least one more year.
