The final day of the EFL Championship season has promotion and relegation on the line as Ipswich and Leeds United fight for the remaining automatic promotion place into the Premier League.

Only one of the pair can claim it, with Leicester City already promoted as champions, and the team losing out will drop into the playoffs.

The stakes will be sky high at both Portman Road and Elland Road with Birmingham City fighting against relegation at the other end of the table.

The campaign finale is set to be a thriller and The Sporting News has the key details on it, including how to watch all the action across the world.

EFL Championship promotion race latest

Here's how the table looks ahead of the final day of action:

PositionTeamMPPtsGD
1.Leicester City (C)4597+50
2.Ipswich Town4593+33
3.Leeds United4590+39
4.Southampton4584+23
5.Norwich City4573+16
6.West Brom4572+20

Ipswich will confirm second place if they win or draw at home to Huddersfield. Defeat could block their automatic promotion, but only if Leeds win at home to Southampton, as the Yorkshire side have a higher goal difference.

Both teams are already guaranteed a playoff spot, alongside Southampton, with Norwich City and West Brom only needing a one point maximum to seal their playoff position.

EFL Championship relegation battle latest

21.Plymouth Argyle4548-12
22.Birmingham City4547-16
23.Huddersfield4545-27
24.Rotherham United (R)4524-55

The bottom three sides in the EFL Championship will be relegated to EFL League One with Rotherham United already slipping through the trap door. The key final day game is Birmingham City's home tie with Norwich.

A win for the Blues would see them survive but only if Plymouth Argyle lose or draw at home to Hull City.
