The English Football League Championship play-offs are a series of
play-off matches contested by the
association football teams finishing from third to sixth in the
EFL Championship table and are part of the
English Football League play-offs. As of 2021[update], the play-offs comprise two semi-finals, where the team finishing third plays the team finishing sixth, and the team finishing fourth plays the team finishing fifth, each conducted as a
two-legged tie. The winners of the semi-finals progress to the final which is contested at
Wembley Stadium. The Championship play-off final is considered the most valuable single football match in the world as a result of the increase in revenue to the winning club from sponsorship and media agreements.
A complete and comprehensive history of the second tier play-off finals. I'm not saying this is my magnum opus (that'll be the Boat Race topic incoming this year), but this is more than a year's worth of effort so I hope it meets with the approval of the community.

Wow. This is astonishing. What a lot of work. One question for now... I don't suppose there's any "free use image to accompany and represent the topic, preferably a featured picture if at all possible"? Pretty sure you considered it. As the criteria make clear, this isn't an essential, so it's not a pass/fail issue by any means. --

Support Comments I am uncertain about the reliability of tabloid newspapers the Sunday World and the Birmingham Mail due to them being populist, but I don't know lots about them so if you can make a proper case, my opinion may be shifted. For the majority, the content is up to proper quality especially with numerous FAs and I always feel amazed at seeing these GTs with over 30 articles! --

The Rambling Man and
Dweller, there is nothing on these sources at
WP:RSP so that is why I admitted to not having too much knowledge of them. After the explanations above, I don't take issue with the usage of them anymore. However, the 2013 Football League Championship play-off Final article should have the GA icon listed instead of the DYK one per this being a GT. --

Hey TRM—I've had my eye on this but have been delaying because it takes quite a bit of time to promote a big one like this (we have update every talk page manually, for example). That being said, I should have time to promote it tomorrow, unless Sturm or Gamer beat me to it.
