Swansea vs Brentford live stream: How to watch Championship play-off semi-final fixture online and on TV

Brentford must metaphorically get themselves back off the canvas after missing out on automatic promotion from the Championship to the Premier League.

A devastating defeat on the final day to Barnsley leaves Thomas Frank’s side with the task of facing a Swansea City side high on confidence.

Steve Cooper’s side squeezed into the top six late on the final day and take momentum into the first leg of their semi-final here.

The Bees are favourites to go up though, but will have to contend with the most pressure and expectations after going so close in the race to earn a top two finish. While Cardiff and Fulham will battle it out in the other semi-final.

Here’s how you can watch the game on television or on a live stream.
