    Does anyone know when the final Championship fixtures are likely to be moved to?

    At the moment they are scheduled for 3pm Saturday 4th May (home v Sheff Wed). I'm guessing they will get moved for TV but to when? 12.30pm? 5.30pm? Sunday?

    Last season it was moved to bank holiday Monday but there isn't one that weekend. The season before was Saturday but I can't easily find kick off times.

    Actually, the last league games are on a bank holiday weekend! So that's another option.

    That's what I was wondering.
    I've finally found a decent archive.
    They always seem to be at lunchtime on the Saturday or Sunday.
    So was last year an exception or the start of a new normal? :emoticon-0138-think
    Anyway, it's never been at a late time, except in the Covid year, which was my main concern.
    Thanks

    Last game of the season is usually a Sunday because it avoids the ridiculous, archaic Saturday 3pm blackout rule

    As it’s the final league game of the season, am I right in thinking that all games kick off at the same time?

    Yes , unless you are Coventry in which case they’d probably allow some adjustment
