How to watch League One play-off final: TV channel and live stream for Charlton vs Leyton Orient today
The League One promotion play-offs will be decided by an all-London tie, with Charlton and Leyton Orient set to face off at Wembley Stadium.
It has been an up-and-down season for Charlton under Nathan Jones. They sat 12th at Christmas but have rallied in 2025, winning 16 of 24 League ties as they narrowly missed out on automatic promotion.

Orient, chasing a first return to the second tier since 1995, have been similarly resurgent of late, ending the season on a run of six wins to pip Reading to a playoff spot. They required penalties to beat Stockport in the semi-final, but Tottenham loanee Josh Keeley was the hero between the sticks, making a crucial save.
For Charlton, an opportunity presents itself for the club to end a five-year stay in the third tier. They were relegated from the Championship in 2020, immediately after being promoted the previous season.
Their play-off semi-final was a nervy one. The Addicks drew 0-0 with Wycombe Wanderers in the first leg, before Matt Godden left it to the 81st minute of the second to score the winner.
Charlton will vie for promotion in front of a sympathetic Wembley crowd after selling out their initial 36,945 ticket allocation in just 40 minutes.

'Sky the limit' for treble winners Bath
Captain Ben Spencer says the "sky is the limit" for Bath after they ended a 29-year wait for a Premiership trophy and clinched a historic treble. Spencer lifted the trophy at Allianz Stadium Twickenham on Saturday after a tense, closely-fought 23-21 final victory against Leicester Tigers. Advertisement Bath added their first league title since 1996 to Premiership Rugby Cup and European Challenge Cup silverware won earlier this campaign. "The future of this club is unbelievably bright, no matter who pulls on the shirt it's next man in," Spencer said. "The work ethic is second to none. As long as we keep our feet on the floor and keep on wanting to get better, the sky is the limit for this team." Spencer joined Bath in 2020 after nine years with Saracens where he won seven major trophies - including four Premiership titles - through the London club's era of dominance. The 32-year-old was made captain in 2022-23 as head of rugby Johann van Graan's tenure at Bath began, just months after the club had finished bottom of the league the season before. Advertisement "The amount of hard work this has taken to turn the ship around... we were bottom three years ago," added Spencer. "I can't credit [Van Graan] enough, he's been absolutely brilliant. If we [understand] there's always an opportunity to get better then I'm really excited for the next couple of years." Bath narrowly lost to Northampton in the Twickenham showpiece last June but were overwhelming favourites this time around. They ended the regular league campaign 11 points clear at the top of the table and wrapped up top spot and a home semi-final in the play-offs with three rounds of games still to play. Advertisement Scrum-half Spencer said he mainly felt "relief" at the final whistle because of the prolonged build-up. "To get the mindset right when you qualify early as we did is quite tough," he said. "I played that semi-final in my head hundreds of times. Day in, day out it was, 'who are we going to get?' It's a hard place to be mentally. "It's relief for me, the players, staff and fans." 'Champion teams win things multiple times' Van Graan said his side had done the "unthinkable" in winning the league title three years after he took over. The squad will now go their separate ways over the summer, with international commitments, including the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia. Advertisement They will not reconvene until a pre-season camp in September but Van Graan said the ambition to keep getting better will not diminish. "I'll set the vision we'll align as a group and we'll take whatever's next - champion teams are teams that win things multiple times," he added. "The day you stand still is the day somebody catches you. "I learned in my time at [South African club] Bulls when I was part of a team that won a lot, you must always train like number two because the other guys are coming. "We'll look at ourselves and we'll go again. It's a journey, there's no end point." Advertisement Additional reporting by Alex Hoad

Russell savours 'special' Premiership title win
Finn Russell kicked 13 points and set up a try as Bath won the Gallagher Premiership [Getty Images] Finn Russell says winning a first Gallagher Premiership title is "special" and "has not sunk in" as the fly-half guided Bath to victory against Leicester Tigers. The Scotland international kicked 13 points and intercepted a pass before setting up Max Ojomoh to score Bath's crucial second try in the 23-21 win. Advertisement Although it was their third trophy of the season, having won the Premiership Rugby Cup and Challenge Cup, it was the club's first league title since 1996 and Russell's first since the Pro 12 success with Glasgow Warriors in 2015. "It's not sunk in yet," Russell told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Winning the Challenge Cup was brilliant but at the start of the year the goal was to win the Premiership. It's 10 years since I won it at Glasgow in my second season there, and now I've won it here in my second season. "It's special. This group, the city, the club deserves it. The work we've put in over the last few years, more years than I've been here, and then what we do on the pitch is try to represent the city as best we can. Advertisement "After last year's defeat [against Northampton], we bounced back really quickly and we managed to get the job done." Russell, who will now tour Australia with the British and Irish Lions, has been a key figure in a dominant season for Bath. At Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, the 32-year-old was influential again, none more so than when he picked off Handre Pollard's pass to race towards the line, before flinging the ball inside for Ojomoh to finish under the posts. Asked why he gave that pass rather than score himself, Russell added: "He's a kid from Bath that grew up watching his dad [Steve] lifting this trophy. Giving him a little bit of limelight in the final was nice." Advertisement Russell said he will enjoy "a couple of quiet ones" to celebrate and was filmed giving his boots to a bath fan in the Twickenham stands after the game.
