BREAKING | Dates Confirmed for The National League Play-Offs
The dates for The National League play-off period have been confirmed.
Fifteen season-defining fixtures are set to take place over seventeen days across the Vanarama National League, Vanarama National League North and Vanarama National League South.
Since 2018, the play-off positions have been extended to six- with the champions being promoted automatically.
In all three leagues, the remaining six fight it out for one final slot with two Eliminator matches taking place before the semi-finals.
The one-off match format has added even more excitement and kept more clubs involved in the shake-up for longer.
All five of the Vanarama National League play-off matches, including the Promotion Final held at Wembley Stadium, will be broadcast live on BT Sport.
