In English soccer, the promotion/relegation system allows for 3-4 teams to be promoted to a higher tier each season. 2-3 teams go up automatically, but to determine who gets the final opening, the next 4 teams get drawn into a two-leg play-off semifinal, with those winners meeting each other in a one-game play-off final, to decide who goes up a level and who stays where they are now. This weekend, England’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tiers will hold their play-off finals at Wembley Stadium in London. Here’s a quick look at each…

League Two: Fleetwood Town vs. Burton Albion, Monday, May 26

Fleetwood Town finished 4th in League Two, and defeated 7th-placed York City in the semifinal, while Burton Albion was 6th during the season and held off Southend United in their encounter. In the two matches this season between FTFC and BAFC, the visiting side won both meetings, with Fleetwood outscoring Burton in those games 6-5. Fleetwood will be looking for a big outing from midfielder Antoni Sarcevic, the team leader in goals this year, while the Brewers have relied on the striking duo of Billy Kee and Adam McGurk all season long. Neither team has ever placed better than 4th in League Two, but the winner of this game will move up with Chesterfield, Scunthorpe United, and Rochdale to League One.

League One: Leyton Orient vs. Rotherham United, Sunday, May 25

Leyton Orient finished 3rd and defeated Peterborough United in their semifinal, while Rotherham was 4th and advanced past Preston North End. Orient scored 3 goals to the Millers’ 2 in the regular season matches (a 1-0 home win and a 2-2 draw in Rotherham). The O’s can boast 4 players this season with more than 10 goals, while RUFC has primarily been led by Kieran Agard. The Millers may have extra incentive to win because having finished 2nd in League Two in 2013, RUFC can make it consecutive seasons of promotion. The winner of this game will advance to the Championship along with Wolverhampton and Brentford.

League Championship: Derby County vs. Queens Park Rangers, Saturday, May 24

The Championship Play-Off Final is often called “the richest game in football“, with the winner granted status into the Premier League and all the financial joys it brings. Both Derby and QPR have made the Premier League before, so both sides are more than eager to return to the top tier in English football. Derby finished 3rd and ran past Brighton in the semifinal, while QPR needed extra time to see off Wigan Athletic. Both teams won hard-fought home matches against each other during the season (Derby 1-0 at home, QPR 2-1 in London). Both teams have big names on their roster, with the Rams managed by former England chief Steve McClaren, and QPR boasting multiple players with previous EPL experience (Bobby Zamora, Jermaine Jenas, Richard Dunne, etc.) The Rangers were relegated to the Championship in 2013, so the opportunity to come back after just one season could be a deciding factor toward who wins. Leicester and Burnley have already clinched automatic promotion.

Who will have fond memories of Wembley this weekend? Who will have to wait until 2015 for another chance to move up?
