When is the 2021/22 EFL Playoffs? League One final date, Championship and League Two semi-finals confirmed

THE EFL has reached its ending as teams seek to secure those promotion spots.

And like every year, four teams in each of the three divisions – Championship, League One and League Two – compete in the play-offs, with only one making it through to the Wembley final.

Brentford were last season’s Championship play-off winners after a comfortable 2-0 win over Swansea at Wembley.

When are the EFL play-off finals?

The dates for each of the EFL play-off finals have been confirmed and will take place over two weeks.

The League One Final will be played a week before the League Two and Championship Finals due to Wembley being unavailable on Bank Holiday Monday 30 May.

The reason for this is the Uefa-Conmebol Finalissima, in which European champions Italy will play against Copa America winners Argentina on Wednesday, June 1, in the national stadium.
