The stakes are high, it is the Football League playoff time!

They have endured 46 games up and down the country, however 6 clubs are just 1 game away from their goal of promotion via the playoffs. Today sees Millwall go to Wembley for the second successive year to take on Bradford. Millwall lost out to Barnsley in last years final, so will be looking to put that right with a win today.

Exeter and Blackpool certainly earnt their places in the league 2 playoff final this year. Both teams won their semi-finals 6-5 to get to Wembley and find themselves 90 minutes away from promotion. They play on Sunday 28th May!

The worlds richest game is the Championship playoffs, which sees the winner get an estimated £200 million for winning promotion to the might Premier League. This year we see Reading taking on Huddersfield. Reading saw off in form Fulham over 2 legs, with a penalty kick winning for them at home. Huddersfield, led by Jurgen Klopp's former right hand man David Wagner have had a remarkable season after jumping from 19th last season to 5th this year, They beat Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the semi-final to win the tie and book their final place. This game is set to take place on Monday 29th May!

 A lot is at stake and we cannot wait!

Good luck to all teams!
