The EFL have confirmed the dates for the Championship play-offs - although fingers crossed it is news that will not be that relevant to Leeds United.
This weekend sees the Championship return to action following a three-month suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It put on pause what was proving to be an exciting race for the play-offs, with just six points separating Preston North End in sixth and QPR in 13th.
That means this latest announcement will be of interest to a number of Championship clubs.
Play-off semi-finals will take place over five days in July with the final being held at Wembley Stadium in August.
The first legs will be held on Sunday, July 26, when sixth hosts third, and Monday, July 27, when fourth travels to fifth.
Third will then host sixth on Wednesday, July 29, before fourth hosts fifth a day later.
The winners of the two semi-finals will have under a week to prepare for the final, which will be held on Tuesday, August 4.
A midweek evening kick-off for a play-off final is sure to raise eyebrows, with the matches usually being held on the weekend.
All the games will be held behind closed doors, but fans will be able to watch them live on Sky Sports.
The Championship resumes this weekend with a full round of fixtures as top two Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion seek to continue their push for automatic promotion.
Leeds travel to Cardiff City on Sunday in their first game back.
With third-placed Fulham six points off the second-placed Baggies, both the top two will be hoping that today’s announcement from the EFL is of no relevance to them.
