Bolton Wanderers v Stockport County (League One Play-Off Final 2026)

Fixture Date: 24/05/26

Competition: League One Play-Off Final 2026

It’s a Greater Manchester derby in the capital as Bolton Wanderers meet Stockport County in the League One Play-off Final, and supporters can reserve a commemorative copy of the EFL’s official matchday programme.

Wanderers reached the Wembley showpiece for the second time in three seasons with a 2-0 aggregate success over Bradford City in the semi-finals, as they seek to end a seven-year hiatus from Championship football.

Steven Schumacher’s men, who finished fifth in the final league standings, will be hoping they can put on a performance under the Arch on Sunday 24th May despite having not got the better of Stockport in the league since 1998.

Fellow finalists County are also no strangers to the grand end-of-season showdown. The Hatters, who were Vertu Trophy finalists in April, reached the third-tier’s play-off final for the third time after a 3-0 aggregate victory over Stevenage.

Dave Challinor, who guided his side to third place for the second successive season, saw his side eliminated by Leyton Orient on penalties in the semi-finals last season. Yet his eyes are fixed on getting the job done this time around and returning to the Championship for the first time in 24 years.

With all the ingredients for a blockbuster showdown in the capital, the clash is sure to prove a compelling contest with so much on the line.

Supporters can reserve a keepsake of this momentous occasion with the 100-page A4 size spine-bound commemorative publication priced at £10, plus first-class post and packaging to a UK address. 

Multiple orders or overseas deliveries will incur an additional post and packaging charge, which will be calculated based on the delivery address provided, as they are sent via courier.

Due to tight turnaround times between the semi-finals being decided and the final itself, these treasured momentos will be despatched on Friday 22nd May if ordered before Thursday 21st May. However, this is not a pre-match delivery service and with a Bank Holiday on Monday 25th delivery could take up to four working days post-match.
