The EFL has confirmed the dates for this season’s Championship play-off matches.

Ipswich Town are currently third in the table, a point behind both Leeds and Leicester, with the latter having a game in hand to come.

There are eight games of the regular season to go. The Blues finish with a home match against Huddersfield on Saturday, May 4.

The first leg of the tie between the teams finishing sixth and third will take place on Sunday, May 12 (12.30pm ko), with the second leg hosted by the third-placed side on Thursday, May 16 (8pm ko).

The fifth-v-fourth first leg will take place on Monday, May 13 (8pm ko), with the fourth-place side hosting the second leg on Friday, May 17 (8pm ko).

Town were last involved in the play-offs back in 2014/15 when Mick McCarthy's men lost to rivals Norwich City in the semi-finals.

The last time Town secured promotion via the play-offs was back in 2000 when George Burley's men beat Bolton in an epic two-legged affair before seeing off Barnsley at the old Wembley.

Ipswich - along with Blackburn, Accrington, Colchester and Crawley - are one of just five teams in the current 92 never to have played at the 'new' Wembley.
