EFL have announced play-off schedules for 2023-24 season across Championship, League One and League Two.
Due to multiple events taking place at Wembley Stadium across late May – early June, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two will conclude their regular seasons on Saturday 27 April at 12:30pm BST and 3pm BST respectively.
League One Play-Off semi-finals will then commence on Friday 3 May as the sixth-placed team host the third-placed team at 8pm, followed by the return leg on Tuesday 7 May which too will be a 8pm kick-off.
The fifth-placed team meanwhile host the fourth-placed team in the first leg of their semi-final on Saturday 4 May at 7:45pm, with the second leg scheduled for 8pm on Wednesday 8 May.
Whichever two teams win their play-off semi-final ties will then meet at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 18 May in the Play-Off Final, with kick-off set to be confirmed closer to the date.
League Two play-offs will begin on Bank Holiday Monday 6 May with a double-header, as the seventh-placed team host the fourth-placed club in a 3pm kick-off in the first play-off semi-final, before the sides who finish sixth and fifth meet at 5:30pm on that same date.
The return leg of the first semi-final will be played at 8pm on Thursday 9 May with the fourth-placed club at home in a 8pm kick-off, before the fifth-placed side entertain the sixth-placed team 24 hours later on Friday 11 March.
Wembley Stadium will play host to the League Two Play-Off Final on Sunday 19 May and the kick-off time is subject to confirmation nearer to the date.
Clubs in the Championship will conclude their regular season on Saturday 4 May at 12:30pm, a week later than clubs in the third and fourth tiers, due to the usual EFL Play-Off Finals weekend being unavailable as consequence of the FA Cup Final falling on Saturday 25 May.
The sixth-placed club in the Championship will kick off the play-off semi-finals in the second tier with a home clash against the third-placed club on Sunday 12 May at 12:30pm, with the return leg scheduled for 8pm on Thursday 16 May.
The fifth and fourth-placed clubs then meet on Monday 13 May at 8pm in their first leg, with their second leg scheduled for Friday 17 May in another 8pm kick-off.
EFL have provisionally scheduled the Championship Play-Off Final for Sunday 26 May but if Coventry reach the FA Cup Final that weekend, the Play-Off Final is expected be rescheduled for Sunday 2 June with kick-off time to be announced nearer the date.
All play-off ties across the three divisions will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK.
