Championship play-offs: Fixtures, dates & teams in the race to the Premier League

The end-of-season mini-tournament for a place in the Premier League is potentially worth £170 million to the team that emerges victorious

The Championship play-offs are arguably the most exciting games in the English football season.

No match is more valuable than the division's play-off final at Wembley, with promotion, it was estimated last year, worth around £170 million to teams not already receiving parachute payments after relegation from the Premier League.

That applies to both Huddersfield Town and Reading, who will meet in the final at Wembley for a place in the top flight. For one of them, it will be a game that changes the course of their club's history.
