This season's English Football League play-off finals at Wembley will take place over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in May. The EFL has announced the Championship final will be held on Saturday, 23 May, with League One to follow on Sunday, concluding with League Two on Monday. This is the final season in which the Championship play-offs will be contested solely by the teams finishing third to sixth in double-headed ties. There are currently no plans to expand the play-offs in Leagues One and Two. This is the 40th season since the play-offs were introduced for the 1986-87 campaign.
