Watch Swansea City vs Brentford EFL Championship play-off live and free in Australia
Swansea City take on Brentford in the Championship play-off semi-finals as the race to reach the Premier League intensifies. This is how you can tune in.
The EFL Championship play-offs are here, with four teams battling it out for the incredibly lucrative prize of Premier League football. Brentford lost their last two matches of the season to miss out on automatic qualification by just two points. Those spots were filled by Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion.
Swansea City produced an extraordinary Houdini act on the final day of the season to sneak into sixth place and claim the final play-off spot. Needing to beat Reading, hope Nottingham Forest lost to Stoke City and turn around a significant goal difference, the Swans benefited from all three. Now they will hope to continue their unexpected run against the favoured Bees in the semi-finals.
When is Swansea vs Brentford EFL Championship play-off?
The semi-finals are held over two legs. The opening match is at 3:30am AEST on Monday 27 July at Liberty Stadium in Wales. The second leg will be at Griffin Park in London on Thursday 30 July.

Who will win Swansea vs Brentford EFL Championship play-off?
The Bees will be kicking themselves at the opportunity missed to secure automatic promotion. But they need to quickly put that aside and focus on the task at hand. The last time Brentford were in England's top flight was way back in 1947.
Swansea City, meanwhile, must almost feel like they are playing with house money. Few expected them to grab sixth position but they pulled it off and must be thinking there's no reason they can't go further. We think Brentford will win the tie, but we'll opt for a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
