Hull v Middlesbrough LIVE: Team news from Championship play-off final after Spygate scandal – UK Times

Hull vs Middlesbrough is due to be held at Wembley on Saturday 23 May. Kick off has been set for 3.30pm BST, an hour earlier than had been originally scheduled before Southampton’s expulsion.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with coverage from 2.30pm BST. A live stream will be available via Sky Go and NOW.

This meant that despite defeat, Boro were reinstated into the play-offs and after Southampton’s last-minute appeal was rejected, Kim Hellberg’s side now have a chance to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2017.

Hull, who were left to watch the Spygate scandal unfold with uncertainty of who they would face at Wembley, sealed their place in the final via more conventional methods, beating third-place finishers Millwall to leave them potentially just 90 minutes away from top-flight football.
