EFL in talks over expanding Championship playoffs to six teams
EFL wants to add National League-style eliminator
Plan could be expanded to Leagues One and Two
The English Football League is in talks over adding an eliminator round to the Championship playoffs and increasing the number of participants from four to six.
The proposal is a similar format to the one used by the National League. In the Championship the team that finish fifth would play the eighth-placed team and sixth would meet seventh in one-off ties at the higher-ranked team’s home stadium.
