Play-offs

See also: 2016 Football League play-offs

The play-offs are played between the teams that finish from third to sixth with the winning team gaining the final promotion spot to the Premier League. The play-off semi-finals will see the sixth placed team play the third placed team and the fifth placed team play the fourth placed team. The team that finishes in the lower position will play at home in the first leg then play away in the second leg. If the aggregate score is level after both legs, then extra time will be play. If the scores are still level, a penalty shoot-out will decide the winner. The away-goals rule does not apply in the semi-finals.

The winners from the two semi-finals will play at Wembley Stadium on 28 May 2016 in the play-off final.[56] The game is known as the richest game in football as promotion to the Premier League will help financially boost the club that achieve it.
