A statement from MFC:
Middlesbrough Football Club welcomes the outcome of todayβs Disciplinary Commission hearing.
We believe this sends out a clear message for the future of our game regarding sporting integrity and conduct.
As a club, we are now focused on our game against Hull City at Wembley on Saturday.
Ticket information for our supporters will be available shortly.
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 Clubsβ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of todayβs 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.
