Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored
(P) Promoted; (Q) Qualified to the phase indicated; (R) Relegated; (X) Assured of at least a play-off place and may still qualify for automatic promotion.
Notes:
  1. ↑ Four teams play for one spot and promotion to the Premier League.

Play-offs

The four teams that finish from third to sixth play off with the winning team gaining the final promotion spot to the Premier League.

In the play-off semi-finals the third placed team plays the sixth placed team and the fourth placed team plays the fifth placed team. The team that finishes in the higher league position will play away in the first leg and play at home in the second leg. If the aggregate score is level after both legs, then extra time will be played. If the scores are still level, a penalty shoot-out will decide the winner. The away goals rule does apply in the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be held on 13–14 and 16–17 May.[61]

The winners from the two semi-finals will play at Wembley Stadium on 28 May 2016 in the play-off final.[61] The game is known as the richest game in football as the winning club is guaranteed significantly increased payments e.g. in the 2016-17 season the minimum payment for participating in the Premier League is £95 million.
