Here’s all the essential information on this matchup, including the date, kickoff time and viewing options. Here are all of the details of where you can watch Hull City vs Middlesbrough on US television and via legal streaming: WHO Hull City vs Middlesbrough WHAT EFL Championship WHEN 10:30am ET / 7:30am PT • Saturday, May 23, 2025 WHERE Paramount+ STREAM WATCH NOW Match Overview Hull City‘s improbable journey to Wembley represents the culmination of a season where they consistently defied the odds. Finishing sixth in the Championship, Sergej Jakirović’s squad has battled through a transfer embargo and unfavorable defensive metrics to stand just one win away from the Premier League. Their gritty semi-final victory over Millwall showcased their resilience, and they enter this final as underdogs with a point to prove. Middlesbrough arrives at the final under extraordinary circumstances. After being eliminated by Southampton, a stunning off-field scandal saw them reinstated, granting them an unexpected shot at glory. As the favorites, Boro has the pressure to capitalize on this second chance and end their nine-year absence from the top flight. With a place in the Premier League on the line, the stakes could not be higher in what is often called the richest game in soccer. Tactical Analysis & Match Context The season trajectories of these two clubs could not be more different. Hull transformed from a team that narrowly avoided relegation into a promotion contender under the masterful guidance of Sergej Jakirović, who built a competitive squad using only loans and free agents. In contrast, Middlesbrough maintained their status as a promotion favorite, with new manager Kim Hellberg implementing a dominant, possession-based style that saw them finish seven points clear of Hull. The tactical battle will be a classic clash of styles. Middlesbrough is expected to control the game, leveraging their league-best possession statistics (over 59%) and high volume of shots to break down Hull‘s defense. Hull, meanwhile, will likely adopt the same counter-attacking strategy that has served them so well. They will look to absorb pressure and hit on the break, relying on the clinical finishing of top scorer Oli McBurnie to make the difference. For both teams, the motivation is simple: secure a lucrative spot in the Premier League. For Middlesbrough, this is a golden opportunity to right the wrongs of their semi-final defeat and prove they belong in the top tier. For Hull, it is a chance to complete a fairytale season and maintain their perfect 100% success rate in Championship play-off finals, having previously earned promotion this way in 2008 and 2016. Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends Historically, Middlesbrough has held the upper hand in this fixture. Over the last five encounters, Boro has secured three victories, with Hull winning just once and one match ending in a draw. This record gives Middlesbrough a clear psychological edge heading into the final. However, the results from the current season tell a more balanced story. While Middlesbrough claimed a dominant 4-1 victory at Hull’s home ground, the Tigers responded with a hard-fought 1-0 win in the reverse fixture at the Riverside Stadium in December 2025. This proves that Hull is more than capable of upsetting their favored opponents on any given day. The recent history between these sides suggests goals are likely. The last five meetings have produced an average of 3.0 goals per game, with both teams finding the net in three of those contests. Middlesbrough‘s attack has been particularly potent, scoring three or more goals against Hull twice during that span, highlighting their offensive firepower. Squad News & Projected Lineups Middlesbrough enters this crucial final with a massive advantage, boasting a fully fit and rested squad, while Hull must navigate the c

Mario Lapointe became the Scottish club’s unlikely owner last year and his radical plans are taking shape at the Rock“A lot of people ask me the same thing,” says a laughing Mario Lapointe, on how a Canadian songwriter and entrepreneur became owner of the Scottish lower league club Dumbarton 12 months ago. “When I was looking for a football club, this club kept calling me back – not literally.“For example, I wrote a song in 1992 which had a lyric about sitting on the rock, and Dumbarton’s stadium is called the Rock. It’s also on the river and I wrote a lot of lyrics about rivers and ships, so it felt meant to be.” Continue reading...
