When and where is the final?

The play-off final takes place on Saturday 27 May 2023 with a kick-off time of 16:45 and will of course be held at Wembley stadium. Nottingham Forest won them last year after beating Huddersfield Town.

Millwall fans will be dreaming of promotion to the Premier League but they need to see off Blackburn first and then get through the play-offs. They will face either Middlesbrough or Luton over two legs if they do.
