The match is scheduled for Saturday 9th May 2026 with an 8:00 PM kick-off, broadcast live on Sky Sports.\n\nBoth clubs battled through a demanding 46-match regular season to secure top-six finishes, earning the right to compete for a place in the Championship. The play-offs are renowned for their high drama, and this encounter between two historic clubs promises to be no different.\n\nBolton, with the advantage of home support, will aim to establish a lead before the return leg. The Wanderers have demonstrated resilience throughout the campaign and will look to convert their home form into a positive result. Bradford, on the other hand, will adopt a cautious approach, seeking to keep the tie alive and potentially snatch an away goal.\n\nSky Sports is offering comprehensive coverage, including pre-match analysis, live commentary, and post-match reaction. The match is available on Sky Sports Football and via the Sky Go app. Unfortunately, the official live blog on SkySports.com is currently experiencing technical difficulties, but the match itself is proceeding without interruption.\n\nThe two-legged nature of the semi-final adds tactical complexity. Managers must balance aggression with caution, knowing that a mistake could prove costly. The away goals rule applies only at the end of extra time in the second leg, making first-leg strategy even more critical.\n\nThe atmosphere at the Toughsheet Community Stadium is expected to be intense, with both sets of fans creating a vibrant backdrop. Play-off football often brings out the best in players, and this match is likely to be decided by fine margins.\n\nThe decisive second leg will be held at Valley Parade next week, with Bradford hoping to overturn any deficit. The aggregate winner will advance to the final at Wembley, where promotion to the Championship awaits.\n\nBased on reporting from SkySports | News.","news","Bolton face Bradford in tense League One
