- Wrexham drew 2-2 with Middlesbrough in the final Championship round, finishing two points behind Hull and missing the playoffs.
- Hull City secured sixth place and the final playoff spot with a 2-1 win over Norwich, overtaking Wrexham on goal difference.
- Ryan Reynolds posted on X that he is "completely gutted" but proud of the club's best‑ever 150‑year finish, echoing manager Phil Parkinson's optimism for a stronger 2026‑27 campaign.
Why it matters: Hull City gains a lucrative playoff revenue boost and a chance at Premier League promotion, while Wrexham loses the financial windfall of a playoff run and must invest $40 million in squad upgrades for the 2026‑27 season, delaying their promotion timeline.
