Leeds United will hope to not be affected by the unusual issue.

Leeds United's promotion celebrations could be pushed back into June with reports suggesting the Championship play-off final may be moved back amid Coventry City's FA Cup success. As it stands, the play-off final is due to be played on Sunday, May 26 but that is just 24 hours after the FA Cup final on May 25. The possible issue was highlighted by the YEP after communication with the EFL last month, but elimination at the hands of Chelsea put it on the back burner in West Yorkshire.

The back-up date will only be used if Coventry are involved in the final and so any decision will be made late. It brings about the possibility of Leeds United, if they fail to secure a top-two spot, or any other play-off hopefuls playing their respective semi-finals without knowing the date of a potential final. The regular Championship campaign ends on Saturday, May 4 when Leeds host fellow promotion hopefuls Southampton.
