Clubs have voted to expand the Championship play-offs from four to six teams from next season, the English Football League has confirmed. Starting from the 2026-27 season, the Championship clubs who finish seventh and eighth in the table will be included, and will face the teams who finish fifth and sixth in a new one-off eliminator tie. Then, the winners will progress to the two-legged semi-finals, against the teams who finish third and fourth, for the chance to advance to Wembley and compete for a place in the Premier League. Following several months of discussion with clubs and other stakeholders, we are confident this change will further strengthen the Championship as a competition and give more clubs and their supporters a genuine opportunity of achieving promotion, EFL chief executive Trevor Birch said.
