The 2024 EFL Championship play-off final was an association football match which was played on 26 May 2024 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, between Leeds United and Southampton.

The match was to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football, to the Premier League. Leeds United and Southampton had finished third and fourth respectively in the league season. The top two teams of the 2023–24 EFL Championship, Leicester City and Ipswich Town, gained automatic promotion to the Premier League, while the clubs placed from third to sixth in the table took part in 2024 English Football League play-offs. Promotion to the Premier League was estimated in 2024 to be worth up to £265 million to the play-off final winner.

John Brooks was the referee for the match, which was played in front of 85,862 spectators. Southampton took the lead in the 24th minute through Adam Armstrong. No more goals were scored and Southampton won the match 1–0, thus securing promotion back to the Premier League.

Leeds United finished the regular 2023–24 season in third place in the EFL Championship, the second tier of the English football league system. They were six points behind second-placed Ipswich Town and seven points behind champions Leicester City. Southampton finished in fourth place, nine points behind Ipswich Town. Fifth and sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City finished 21 and 23 points respectively behind Ipswich Town. They all therefore missed out on the two automatic places for promotion to the Premier League and instead took part in the play-offs to determine the third and final promoted team.

The first legs of the semi-finals took place on 12 May, contested between Norwich City and Leeds United at Carrow Road, and between West Bromwich Albion and Southampton at The Hawthorns. Both games finished in goalless draws, which was the first time that had happened since the 2011 Football League Championship play-offs semi-final first-legs between Nottingham Forest, Swansea City, Reading and Cardiff City.

The return leg between Leeds United and Norwich City was played at Elland Road on 16 May. Attacking their opponents from the kick-off, Leeds' Crysencio Summerville curled a shot over the bar after only two minutes. Leeds were later awarded a free-kick after a foul on Joe Rodon, which Ilia Gruev took; he deceived Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn into expecting a cross, but instead shot towards the near post to make it 1–0 in the seventh minute. In the 20th minute, Leeds made it 2–0 after Joël Piroe headed in a cross from Wilfried Gnonto. Georginio Rutter made it 3–0 in the 40th minute, crashing the ball into the net off of the crossbar after a breakaway Leeds' attack. Summerville made it 4–0 in the 68th minute, tapping the ball in from close range after Gnonto's shot had been parried by Gunn to Junior Firpo who squared the ball to Summerville. No further goals were scored as Leeds won the tie 4–0 on aggregate to make the play-off final on 26 May. Following the match, the Leeds squad gathered into a huddle in the centre circle while the home fans in the stands sang "I Predict a Riot" by Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs. Norwich manager David Wagner said after the game, "It was a poor performance from us. Everything you should not do, we have done". He was sacked by the club the day after the match.

The second leg between Southampton and West Bromwich Albion was played at St Mary's Stadium on 17 May. Southampton opened the scoring in the second half in the 49th minute as Will Smallbone struck the ball from an angle to put it past West Brom goalkeeper Alex Palmer and give his team a 1–0 advantage. Adam Armstrong later made it 2–0 in the 78th minute. In the 85th minute, Southampton were awarded a penalty kick for a foul on Ryan Manning, which Armstrong converted to put his side 3–0 up. Cédric Kipré scored a header in injury time to give West Brom a consolation goal, but Southampton won 3–1 on aggregate to qualify for the play-off final.

At the end of the Southampton–West Bromwich Albion game, a section of Southampton supporters came onto the pitch and confronted the West Bromwich supporters. Flares, seats and missiles were thrown between the two sets of fans before police and stewards gained control. A post-match lap of honour by the Southampton players had to be cancelled due to crowd disturbances. Three people were arrested, two for going on the pitch and one for assaulting an emergency worker, using threatening behaviour and obstructing/resisting a police officer.
