EFL Play-Off Schedule Confirmed

The English Football League has released the final day schedules for the Sky Bet Championship, League One, and League Two, along with the play-off timetable

The English Football League has released the final day schedules for the Sky Bet Championship, League One, and League Two, along with the play-off timetable.

League One's final matches will start on Saturday, 27th April, at 12:30, followed by League Two at 15:00. The Championship will wrap up its regular season on Saturday, 4th May, with games kicking off at 12:30.

The play-offs are set to begin on 3rd May and conclude at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, 26th May. Each division's play-offs will consist of two-legged semi-finals, leading to the finals at the national stadium. The League One final will be held on Saturday, 18th May, followed by the League Two final the next day. The Championship play-off final, known as the "richest game in football," determining the final promotion spot to the Premier League, is scheduled for 26th May, the day after the FA Cup final.

Kick-off times for the finals are yet to be confirmed. However, if Coventry City, currently in the hunt for a Championship play-off spot and also in the FA Cup semi-finals, were to advance to both finals, adjustments would be necessary to the schedule.
