As the 2024-25 English Football League (EFL) League One season progresses, the excitement builds around the upcoming playoffs. The League One playoffs are a crucial part of the EFL calendar, offering the final opportunity for teams to secure promotion to the Championship.

The playoffs involve the teams that finish between third and sixth place in the League One standings. Currently, the top contenders include Birmingham, Stockport, Huddersfield, and Barnsley. Here is a snapshot of the current League One table:

- Birmingham are in third place with 33 points from 15 games.
- Stockport are in fourth place with 30 points from 17 games.
- Huddersfield are in fifth place with 29 points from 16 games.
- Barnsley are in sixth place with 27 points from 17 games.

The playoff format consists of two-legged semi-finals, where the third-placed team faces the sixth-placed side, and the fourth-placed team takes on the fifth. The winners of these semi-finals then proceed to a single-match final at Wembley Stadium, with the victor earning promotion to the Championship.

Last season, Oxford United triumphed in the League One playoffs by defeating Bolton Wanderers 2-1 in the final at Wembley Stadium. This year's playoffs promise to deliver similar drama and passion as the teams battle for the last remaining spot in the Championship.
