After both were relegated during the 2022-23 season, one will bounce right back to the top flight while the other will spend another season in the Championship, only adding to the stakes at Wembley. <br><strong>When</strong>: Saturday, May 26 | <strong>When: </strong>10 a.m. ET<br><strong>Where: </strong>Wembley Stadium -- London, England<br><strong>Stream: </strong>ESPN+<br>The benefits of being back in the Premier League for this duo may not be the same as <span>Luton Town</span> being promoted last season but make no mistake about it, this is where everyone wants to be. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5514531/2024/05/23/championship-playoff-final-prize-money/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Deloitte</a>, the winning team will see a revenue increase of at least £140 million which can rise to £305 million if they are to avoid relegation. This is due to parachute payments which rise in value if a team is able to stay in the Premier League for more than one season.<br>Losing in this match is where things can get sticky for a team as top Championship sides usually spend beyond their means in hope of reaching the Premier League. Due to sales of <span>James Ward-Prowse</span>, Romeo Latvia, <span>Tino Livramento</span>, <span>Nathan Tella</span>, and <span>Mohammed Salisu</span>, the Saints have a net spend that would see them be fine even if they aren't promoted right back to the Premier League, while <span>Leeds United</span> will be in a more dire situation.<br>Leeds had a balanced transfer budget this season thanks to selling <span>Tyler Adams</span> to <span>Bournemouth</span> but balanced won't be good enough for the lack of Premier League revenue coming in. If Leeds United aren't promoted valuable players like <span>Archie Gray</span> and <span>Wilfried Gnonto</span> may need to be sold to balance the books. This is why if a team doesn't earn promotion back to the Premier League in their first season in the Championship, the road back to the top flight can be a long one.<br>The stakes at hand are also why the promotion final can be such a tense affair. Since 2014, only one playoff final has seen over two goals scored and it took extra time for <span>Fulham</span> to do that, defeating <span>Brentford</span> 2-1 in 2020. Two finals in the past 10 have gone to penalties as well so don't expect many goals with so much on the line Sunday.<br>© 2004-2024 CBS Interactive.
