The 2015 Football League Championship play-off final was a football match contested by Norwich City and Middlesbrough on 25 May 2015 at Wembley Stadium. The winner, Norwich City, gained promotion to the Premier League for the 2015–16 season.
It was Norwich's second appearance in a play-off final, having played in the 2002 Football League First Division play-off Final losing to Birmingham City on penalties. Described as "the richest game in football", victory in the game is worth an estimated £120m to the winning club.
On 19 May Wembley Stadium apologised to Middlesbrough supporters for issuing tickets with the team's name misspelled as "Middlesborough". Norwich City were allocated 38,888 tickets which were sold exclusively to season ticket holders and club members.
