About This Trend
The #PlayoffFinal refers to the final match of the English Football League Championship playoffs, a competition where the top six teams in the Championship league table that are not automatically promoted to the Premier League compete for the last remaining promotion spot. The teams that finish between third and sixth place in the Championship qualify for the playoffs, with the third-placed team playing the sixth-placed team, and the fourth-placed team playing the fifth-placed team, in a two-legged semifinal. The winners of each semifinal then meet in the final, known as the PlayoffFinal, to determine the team that will be promoted to the Premier League.
The current #PlayoffFinal trend is due to the upcoming Championship Playoff final between Sheffield United and Sunderland, with the winner earning a spot in the Premier League and an estimated £220 million in revenue, making it the richest game in football. .
