Relegated Oxford United are set to face promotion-chasing Millwall at The Den on the final day of the Championship 2025/26 campaign. This crucial fixture sees the Yellows, already confirmed for relegation, play a pivotal role in the Lions' bid for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Millwall currently sits third in the Championship table, locked in a tense three-horse race for the coveted second automatic promotion spot. To secure their place in the Premier League, they must defeat Oxford United and simultaneously hope that second-place Ipswich Town falters against QPR at Portman Road.

Should Ipswich Town avoid a slip-up, or if Millwall fails to secure a victory against Oxford United, the Lions will instead be heading for the high-stakes Championship play-offs, where they would battle for the final promotion spot.

For Oxford United, this match marks the end of their Championship season, with their relegation already confirmed. While the outcome may not affect their league standing, their performance against Millwall will directly influence the promotion race at the top of the table.

Fans eager to follow this decisive Championship encounter can find details on TV coverage, live stream options, and the exact kick-off time through official league broadcasters. Specific information will be released closer to the match day.
