The 2024 EFL Championship play-off final was an association football match played on 26 May 2024[3] that decided the final team to get promotion from the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football, to the Premier League. The top two teams of the 2023–24 EFL Championship, Leicester City and Ipswich Town, gained automatic promotion, while the clubs that placed from third to sixth took part in the 2024 English Football League play-offs.[4][5] Promotion to the Premier League was estimated in 2024 to be worth up to £265 million to the play-off final winner.[6]
The final was contested by Leeds United and Southampton, both of whom were relegated from the Premier League in the previous season and finished third and fourth respectively in the 2023–24 EFL Championship season. Southampton won the game 1–0, thus securing promotion back to the Premier League.
