These playoffs consist of a semi-final round where the team in 4th plays against the team in 7th, and the team in 5th competes with the team in 6th. The winners of each exciting semi-final match will then advance to the highly anticipated League Two Play-off Final.
Whichever team wins the 2023/24 League Two Play-offs, will join champions Stockport County, Wrexham and Mansfield Town in moving up to League One next season.
