How to buy Championship play-off final tickets, when is the final and kick-off time

It's always billed as the football match with the biggest prize, such are the riches on offer with a place in the Premier League. Like it or not, the financial gap between the top flight and the EFL means even just one season among the elite 20 can make a huge difference to any club.

Sunderland are among the four sides with a chance to book their place in the Premier League next term, and take a 2-1 advantage into tonight's semi-final second leg at Luton Town. Manager Tony Mowbray knows his side will have a tough challenge tonight, but the Wearsiders remain confident they can make it Wembley.

Awaiting them will be either North East rivals Middlesbrough or Coventry City. The two sides drew 0-0 at the Ricoh Arena in the first leg, with the return game taking place at the Riverside on Wednesday, May 17.

Sunderland have been regular visitors to Wembley in recent years, with two League One play-off finals and two EFL Trophy finals leading to some special memories (and some we can now forget). However the clamour for tickets will be huge. Here's what we know so far.

When is the Championship play-off final?

The game takes place on Saturday, May 27 at Wembley Stadium. Kick-off is 4.45pm.

How do I get tickets for the Championship play-off final?

All we know right now is that the clubs themselves will handle the process. Understandably, Sunderland have yet to confirm any details, with tickets likely to go on sale via a loyalty points-related system here. There are other souces, of course, and Club Wembley have packages available here.

Is the Championship play-off final on TV?

Yes, the game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports' channels.
