This year’s play-off finals with mark the beginning of goalline technology being used in the Championship, the EFL have confirmed.

Until now, the Premier League has been the prime beneficiary of the technology, in use since 2013, though play-off finals at Wembley, with so much riding on those games, has also used it too.

In a statement, the Football League has revealed that England’s second tier will see it utilised at each ground from the beginning of next season, though it’ll be used in the play-offs of this campaign too.

“The introduction of goalline technology is a significant step forward for Championship clubs and reflects the importance of the outcome of every single game in the division,” said EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey.

“It has already proved successful elsewhere in our competitions and I’m confident it will have a similar positive impact week in, week out in the Championship, starting with this year’s Championship play-off semi-finals.”
