An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubsโ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of todayโs order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

Convinced an Arsenal player could just go up to the referee and punch him in the face and not get sent off at this point. Really weird season of Premier League football and officiating.
Brennan Johnson is the perfect example of a player who is a genuinely appalling footballer but has great physical attributes. Modern day nonsense player.
Pickford
Trent Maguire Guehi Hall
Rice Anderson
Saka Bellingham Rashford
Kane.
Make it happen. Lots of absolute nonsense players in these two friendlies this week.
Starting Swift and Pack as your 2 holding midfielders today with Adams in front was one of the most baffling decisions Mousinho has made so far. 3-0 down after 30 minutes and heโs sat down writing in his notebook. Has he given up? #pompey
@callumdcfc1 Our owners/recruitment team seem obsessed with finding cheap young options in the hope one of them might turn out to be sellable for a profit. Then stacking the rest of the squad with loans and free agents.
Derby went big to get Agyemang and look where they are, challenging for the playoffs. Rest of their squad isnโt hugely better than ours, but theyโve got a proper physical mobile striker and we have not.
@callumdcfc1 The injuries are ridiculous & we keep signing players coming back from long term injuries whoโve played barely any football & act surprised when they also get injured.
Yeah Agyemang will get you good money and set you up long term, great bit of business if you can use that money
