Brentford and Fulham will make the short trip to Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night as they contest the most lucrative fixture in sport: the Championship Play-Off Final.
Those in Canada, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy can watch the game for free through a DAZN free trial. (Don't forget to use a VPN if you're a European citizen stuck away from home.) UK viewers can find the game live in 4K on Sky Sports. US viewers will need ESPN+.
The prize in this winner-takes-all match up is a ticket to next season's Premier League alongside Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion, who have already been promoted for finishing first and second respectively, and the estimated £170m windfall that comes with it.
Brentford and Fulham both won their two-legged semi-finals against Welsh opposition, and both by a 3-2 aggregate scoreline, to reach the Wembley Final. You might say it was a worthy outcome, too, given these are the sides who finished the season third and fourth in the table – both with 81 points.
Fulham might consider themselves slight favourites, knowing precisely what it takes to reach the top flight; the Cottagers only dropped down from the Premier League last season.
But Scott Parker's side will have their work cut out denying a Brentford team who scored 80 goals during the regular season, more than anybody else in the league. Almost three-quarters of those were shared between the Bees' front three of Ollie Watkins (26), Saïd Benrahma (17) and Bryan Mbuembo (16), who remain in menacing form.
Whatever the outcome, it is sure to be an attacking game of football, by the end of which one club's fortunes will have changed dramatically.

How to watch Brentford vs Fulham abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the services above, you'll need to use them outside the UK or United States. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access – even if you’re a national of those countries.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
Once you’ve made your choice, all you need to do is sign in to your VPN service through whichever device you’d like to use to watch the match. When prompted to select a server, you need to pick one which is based in the country whose content you’d like to access. Then navigate to the relevant video streaming app or website and you’re in.
