Hull City tickets and travel as Championship play-off details confirmed

Hull City are heading to Wembley after beating Millwall in the Championship play-off semi-final.

The Tigers will face Southampton in the final for a chance to join Coventry City and Ipswich Town in the Premier League next season.

Known as the richest match in football, the play-off final has always been a game of huge significance.

Hull City finished 10 points behind Millwall in the league table, but have a chance to extend their winning run in the play-offs, having won promotion that way in 2007-08 and 2015-16.

The final takes place on Saturday 23 May, but a kick-off time has yet to be announced.

Hull Trains said it was running an additional service to the capital on the day of the match, as well as providing extra capacity where possible.

The operator advised passengers to travel on Friday 22 May and return on Sunday 24 May to avoid the busiest services, if possible, as tickets for the Saturday were limited.

A timetable and more information is available here.

Several coach operators are also running services, including Acklams Coaches and Coach Innovations, with picks up in Hull, Beverley and Goole.

Anyone travelling by car is advised to only use official stadium car parks and to book early.

Travel information for guests with access requirements can be found on Wembley Stadium's website.

Hull City fans are being told to make sure their online ticketing account is fully set up in advance in order to be able to purchase tickets.

The club initially said it expected to reveal further details for supporters on Wednesday 13 May, however, they are yet to be announced.

In an update on Thursday, the club said many fans had contacted the ticket office and asked them not to do so.

They said: "Full details, including confirmed sale dates and kick-off time, will be communicated in due course. Until then, we kindly ask supporters to refrain from contacting the ticket office while final details are being confirmed."

The club previously said "membership holders will receive priority access during an exclusive early-access sales window, before tickets later go on general sale".

Hospitality packages, which include a three-course meal, are available via the Wembley Stadium website.

Hull City made it to the final by beating Millwall 2-0 in the second leg at The Den, with Mo Belloumi and Joe Gelhardt coming off the bench to score the goals.

But rewind to May 2025 and Hull were staring down the barrel of relegation to League One.

Ruben Selles departed, and Sergej Jakirovic was brought in.

The rest, as they say, is history and they now have an opportunity to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2017.

Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert praised his side for "digging deep" in their play-off win over Middlesbrough.

Saints came from behind to win in dramatic fashion on the night, with Shea Charles finding the net with just four minutes of extra-time remaining.

It comes after Saints ended the season as one of the form sides in the division, going unbeaten in their final 19 league games to finish fourth.

Southampton will return to Wembley for the Championship play-off final two years after winning promotion to the Premier League via that route.

However, this season's campaign has been marred with controversy following allegations of the club spying on their semi-final opponents, which has resulted in them being charged by the English Football League (EFL).

The Saints have not denied the charge and have asked for more time to respond as they conduct an internal review.

It is unclear at this stage what happens next and if it could have an impact on the final.
