Who are the referees for the EFL play-offs? Officials for Championship, League One and League Two

The English Football League (EFL) has confirmed the match officials for the play-off semi-finals.

Promotion is still up for grabs for teams in the Championship, League One and League Two over the coming weeks. The first leg fixtures will take place across the weekend.

In the Championship, third place Luton will face play-off gatecrashers Sunderland. While fourth place Middlesbrough and fifth place Coventry City will face each other twice more having already played on the final day of the season.

Sheffield Wednesday, who missed out on automatic promotion from League One despite an incredible 96 point haul, will take on Peterborough United, who snuck into the play-offs thanks to the Owls 1-0 over Derby. Barnsley will face Bolton in the other League One semi-final.

Stockport County are looking for back-to-back promotions, having been promoted to League Two from the National League last May, and will take on Salford City. Bradford City will be hoping Andy Cook can keep up his goalscoring heroics from the regular season when they face League Two rivals Carlisle.
