Hull City snatch final Championship play-off spot
They'll play Millwall in the semi finals
Last updated 2nd May 2026
Hull secured their place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs thanks to a brace from Oli McBurnie during a 2-1 comeback win at home to Norwich.
With Wrexham and Derby having both faltered, the Tigers seized their moment to regain a top-six finish – a position in which they have occupied for most of the season – after they came from behind at the MKM Stadium.
Norwich were the best side in the Championship last month and, even with nothing to play for other than personal pride and improved contract negotiations, deservedly opened the scoring through Mo Toure.
Hull had been awful until that 26th-minute goal, but charged back into the game two minutes later when McBurnie equalised from the penalty spot.
And with favourable results elsewhere, Hull fans were left to dream of a potential return to the Premier League after McBurnie stabbed home his 20th goal of the season after 67 minutes.
