National League play-off eliminators live on DAZN
The final promotion place from the National League will be settled later this month, and it all begins with this week's eliminators.
Unlike the EFL, the National League play-offs have an eliminator round, with the two victors progressing to the semi-final, where York City and Forest Green Rovers await the winners.
You can catch all these games, as well as this weekend's National League North and South Promotion Final, on DAZN, and if you buy now, you can get an incredible 50% off the monthly flex plan and watch all the play-off games for just £9.99.
Here's a look at who's playing who on the first stop on the road to Wembley.
National League play-off eliminators this week
Oldham Athletic vs Halifax Town
- Date: Wednesday, May 14
- Time: 7.45 pm BST
Oldham spent most of the season in the top seven, despite their spring dip in form that threatened to derail their first involvement in a play-off picture for almost two decades.
They gained home advantage by finishing in fourth place in the league, thanks to a final-day win over bottom club Ebbsfleet Town, and now host Halifax Town in their eliminator, with the winners set for a clash with York City.
Halifax finished the season with a defeat to Wealdstone and have already lost twice at Boundary Park this season, which could give Micky Mellon's side the edge.
Rochdale vs Southend United
- Date: Thursday, May 15
- Time: 7.45 pm BST
Southend were the big victors on the final day of the regular season, holding firm against Gateshead to get the point they needed to confirm their play-off place ahead of the North-east side.
Their next step on the road to returning to the Football League is a trip to another former EFL club in Rochdale, who's strong second half to the campaign saw them book their place in the top seven.
Kevin Maher's Southend have already gone to the Crown Oil Arena and won this season, with a 1-0 victory in October, and this promises to be just as tight as the battle for the chance to play Forest Green in the semi-finals.
