"If the score at the end of extra time is still level then the tie is decided by penalty kicks."

League 1 play-off final venue
Wembley Stadium in London will host the League 1 play-off final and it is the traditional venue for all EFL promotion deciders, including those for the Championship and League Two.
It is possible that fans will be allowed into the 90,000-seater stadium for the final, but it will depend on the public health situation in England as the UK government continues to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.

Boris Johnson announced that supporters may be able to return from Monday, 17 May in limited numbers.
