There is nothing quite like the EFL play-offs. It is do or die for 12 teams across the Championship, League One and League Two, who will give everything in the pursuit of promotion.

After a dramatic final day, four second-tier sides are left chasing the Premier League dream. Yo-yo club Sheffield United take on Bristol City, on their first play-off run since 2008, while Frank Lampard's Coventry City face a Sunderland outfit hoping to return to the promised land.

In League One, Stockport County's hunt for a third promotion in four years is blocked by in-form Leyton Orient. In the other semi-final, Wycombe Wanderers need to rally after their top-two disappointment as they are up against a Charlton Athletic side that have built up a head of steam.

Walsall's automatic promotion heartbreak on the final day of the League Two season means they now have a play-off semi-final against last season's National League champions Chesterfield.

Neither AFC Wimbledon nor Notts County have been particularly convincing in the final weeks of the 2024/25 campaign but they must put that behind them as they look to punch their ticket to Wembley.
