Hull City take on defeated semifinalists Middlesbrough on Saturday for a place in the Premier League. It truly is a Championship playoff final like no other. Boro were beaten over two legs by Southampton , a tie that became embroiled in a spying scandal after Saints sent an intern to film their opponents' training sessions.
Southampton admitted to "multiple breaches of EFL regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other clubs' training" over the course of the season during an investigation by an independent disciplinary commission. Tonda Ekert's team were expelled from the playoffs and will start next season on minus four points. Their appeal against the punishment this week was unsuccessful.
Hull, meanwhile, upset third-placed Millwall in the semifinals and have been left in a curious state of limbo, not knowing their opponents for a game of incredible magnitude. Both Hull and Boro were last in the Premier League in 2016/17 and will be desperate to end a decade away from England's top flight, the richest domestic league in world football. Here's everything you need to know about the Championship playoff final, including TV channel and streaming options.
