The regular EFL season ended last weekend, but the play-offs will still determine the final clubs to earn promotion.

Coventry City, Lincoln City, and MK Dons won the Championship, League One, and League Two crowns, respectively.

Meanwhile, Ipswich Town, Cardiff City, Bromley, and Cambridge United all earned automatic promotion across the three divisions.

The play-offs are expected to be fiercely contested in each division, drawing large TV viewers in the coming weeks.

Middlesbrough, Millwall, Southampton, and Hull City are all in contention for a Premier League spot.

It will all culminate in three finals at Wembley Stadium, which will draw large audiences and the attention of the rest of the football world to see the campaign’s dramatic finish.

A new warning has been issued to dubious Fire Stick users.

Following substantial jail terms, a group of illegal streamers has been required to return millions of dollars collected from their operations.

Lad Bible reports that a group of five led by Mark Gould has been ordered by Derby Crown Court to refund their earnings or face additional years on their terms.

It has been claimed that they earned roughly £7 million over the course of five years running the Flawless business.

They offered £10-a-month subscriptions to unlicensed sports channels, eventually growing into a business with 30 people.

However, the company was shut down in 2021, and the five ring leaders were sentenced to 30 years in prison, with Gould serving 11 of them.

However, if they do not comply with the order to disgorge their gains from this illicit enterprise, their jail time may be enhanced.

Stefan Sergot, the Premier League’s director of legal enforcement, has issued a warning to customers about these illicit streams.

He emphasized the harsh punishment for the five leaders of Flawless, implying that distributors of illicit broadcasts will face additional penalties.According to Sergot, confiscation actions aim to prevent illicit streaming service providers from profiting from their unlawful activities.The penalties imposed and the assets confiscated in these proceedings vindicate the efforts made to bring these people to justice and reflect the gravity and scope of the offenses.”

Consumers advised about the attraction of unauthorized access to football games.

Due to the rising expense of subscribing to legal broadcasters in the UK, consumers have turned to illegal football match viewing via questionable fire sticks or streams.

To have access to the EFL, you must first purchase a Sky Sports subscription, which costs between £35 and £44 per month depending on your package.

Meanwhile, the Sports bundle on NOW TV costs £34.99 a month and includes access to the Championship, League One, League Two, and this month’s play-offs.

Doug Love, Principal Trading Standards Investigator at Hammersmith & Fulham Council, issued a warning to consumers, stating that the prison sentences should prevent similar offenses.Anyone tempted to perpetrate similar crimes should be discouraged by the record prison sentences and confiscation orders in this case,” he said.

The play-offs will begin this week with the Championship’s first leg meetings between Hull City and Millwall, as well as Middlesbrough and Southampton.

Stevenage will face Stockport County, followed by Bolton Wanderers and Bradford City, with Grimsby Town hosting Salford City and Chesterfield facing Notts County.

The second legs will feature reverse fixtures before the three finals, which will be held on May 23, 24, and 25.
