The race for the National League title will come to a thrilling climax this weekend as both teams fight to qualify for the English Football League (EFL). After 45 games, it all comes down to 90 minutes of football as Rochdale take on York City on Saturday (April 25th) at 12.30pm.
There is only one automatic promotion spot, with the winner qualifying for League Two of the EFL. The losing team will have to settle their fate in the playoffs, which begin on April 28th.
Both sides are at the top of the table with a difference of two points, with Rochdale heading into the game with 105 points after winning three of five games. They have lost to York City twice this season, but are currently top of the table with 107 points and are on a run of five consecutive wins.
Rochdale vs York is just one of many games to be played on the final day of the National League season, including matches between National League North and National League South. There’s a lot at stake in all three divisions, including play-off places and a relegation battle.
Supporters of clubs in each division will be able to watch every final day’s games live via one streaming platform, with one subscription also covering every play-off match. Here’s how to watch all the National League matches over the next few days, including Rochdale vs York City.
