Oxford United vs Wycombe Wanderers live stream: how to watch the
League One play-off final wherever you are in the world. How to watch an
Oxford United vs Wycombe Wanderers live stream, as two local rivals
fight for a place in the Championship.

Oxford spent three years in the top flight during the 1980s, a spell
during which they won the League Cup in 1986, and were regulars in the
second tier in the 1990s.
But they fell out of the English Football League in 2006 and, after
four years in non-league, the U's could win promotion to the
Championship just 10 seasons after returning to the fully professional
ranks.
Karl Robinson's men won five consecutive games to climb into
promotion contention before the season was suspended in March because of
the coronavirus pandemic.
"You've got two teams with budgets in the bottom half of the table
playing in the final, which is quite remarkable," Robinson told BBC
Radio Oxford.
This is the big one for Oxford and Wycombe - two clubs with markedly different styles, yet situated in neighbouring counties.
Life under Karl Robinson for the Us began very slowly indeed but with
Oxford now playing expansive football, optimism is high. The club have
done extraordinarily well to be in this position after losing Shandon
Baptiste to Brentford in January and after overcoming Portsmouth on
penalties in the play-off semis, the Yellows will be hoping to go the
distance again tonight at Wembley.
Wycombe have been a more pragmatic outfit this term. Gareth
Ainsworth's side offers a stark contrast to Oxford's passing game, but
Ainsworth won't care if it's a smash and grab in this game - he lost the
penalty shootout the last time he took his Wanderers side to Wembley in
the 2015 League Two play-off final.
After the rest of their regular campaign was called off, Oxford
secured their spot at Wembley after a close play-off semi-final with
Portsmouth, with both legs of their tie ending 1-1.
U's keeper Simon Eastwood was the hero, denying Cameron McGeehan to
keep out Pompey's fourth penalty, and Cameron Brannagan's decisive
spot-kick gave Oxford a 5-4 victory.
Wycombe's whole history prior to 1993-94 was spent in non-league and are aiming to reach new territory by winning on Monday.
