The Football League has announced that the end-of-season play-offs will be held at the new Wembley Stadium.
The announcement follows Brent council granting Wembley a safety certificate on Tuesday after two successful warm-up events at the £798m stadium.
"This is the news which fans of League clubs have been waiting for," said League chairman Lord Mawhinney.
The League Two play-off final will take place on Saturday 26 May, with League One and the Championship following.

Lord Mawhinney added: "Knowing their club could get to play at the new Wembley is sure to provide an extra edge to what is already shaping up to be a very exciting end-of-season run-in."
Wembley managing director Alex Horne added: "We are looking forward to welcoming back the Football League play-offs at the end of May.
"As the final hurdle in the season-long race for promotion these are exciting and critical matches and we are delighted that they will be returning to Wembley this year."
