The English Football League confirmed that Wembley Stadium will host the play-off finals during the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in May. The League One final takes place on Saturday, 23 May, followed by the League Two showpiece on Sunday, 24 May. The Championship final concludes the schedule on Monday, 25 May, per Sky Sports.
EFL officials stated that the dates ensure all three divisions complete their post-season campaigns at the national stadium before the summer break. The play-offs involve teams finishing between third and sixth in the Championship and League One, and fourth to seventh in League Two. This format determines the final promotion spots for the 2026-27 season, according to the EFL.
Tickets for the three fixtures will be distributed to the competing finalists following the conclusion of the semi-final rounds. Each final is expected to kick off in the afternoon, although exact timings remain subject to final broadcast selections. The bank holiday weekend arrangement follows the traditional calendar for the English football pyramid, per The Guardian.
