Yeah, you imagine there wont be any televised games as a result. Although League Two finished at 3pm on a Saturday last season, and think they still had games selected for coverage; the blackout can be very strange at times.

Pretty sure they can televise 3pm games last day of the season.

Also nice to see all three play off finals happening on the same weekend again. Didn’t like the last couple of years when the Championship final had it’s own weekend.

The anxiety for the next 13 games is already incredibly high this end.

The blackout doesn’t count when  non-league teams aren’t playing. Conference finishes the week before so they can show 3PM games.

Looking forward to stuffin' Wrexham 3-0 at Wembley come May 25th, and sending them all the way back to Wales in tears, Dobbo included... 👍

p.s, unless as @ForeverAddickted said we finish 2nd🙄

I'm sure that at point the final L1 games were played on a Sunday, so that the 3 EFL leagues were at different times.

Any insurance bods on here going to BIBA conference bit of a clash
Stockport or Huddersfield away are easy from Manc though

Saturday night play off first leg would be fierce 

OhMyGodden

The final has always been on a Sunday for as long as I can remember
