League One play-off final

The 2027 League One Play-Off Final is expected to be staged at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 30 May, although the EFL has not yet officially confirmed the date or kick-off time. The final brings together the two clubs that successfully navigate the League One play-off semi-finals, with the winner earning the division’s third and final promotion place in the Championship for 2027/28. The teams finishing third, fourth, fifth and sixth in League One enter the play-offs after the top two clubs secure automatic promotion. Two semi-finals are played over home and away legs, with the aggregate winners progressing to the one-match final beneath the Wembley arch. If the final remains level after 90 minutes, the teams can be separated by extra time and, if required, a penalty shootout. The fixture regularly attracts a substantial crowd because it combines the opportunity to win promotion with a rare Wembley appearance for players and supporters. The competing clubs will only be confirmed after the semi-final second legs, meaning standard ticket allocations are unlikely to be released until shortly before the final. Tickets are normally sold directly by each finalist, with separate areas of Wembley assigned to the two sets of supporters. Official hospitality may be available separately. Fans should avoid booking non-refundable travel based solely on the provisional date until the EFL confirms the full play-off schedule. This page will be updated with the finalists, confirmed date, UK kick-off time, ticket information and supporter travel arrangements.
