MK Dons' final opponent for 2025/26 season confirmed as Oldham win play-off final

MK Dons have found out the final opponent for the 2025/26 League Two season after Oldham Athletic won the National League play-off final.

A 3-2 win after extra time for the Latics over Southend United at Wembley means that the Latics booked their return to League Two for the first time since 2022.

The result means Oldham will follow Barnet in winning promotion to the fourth tier, with the London-based Bees having already been promoted after winning the National League.

The two will replace Morecambe and Carlisle United, who were relegated from League Two at the end of last season.

In the other changes from the just-concluded 2024/25 campaign, Doncaster, Port Vale, Bradford and AFC Wimbledon achieved promotion, with the latter winning the play-offs last weekend after beating Walsall 1-0 in a final at Wembley.

Remaining on the Dons’ fixture list will be Walsall, Chesterfield and Notts County, who were beaten in the play-offs. They will be joined by Bristol Rovers, Crawley, Cambridge and Shrewsbury, who suffered relegation from League One.

Fixtures for the new season will be revealed by the EFL at 9am on Thursday June 26th.

• Accrington Stanley
