The return fixtures will be played on Monday July 6 before the final at Wembley is contested a week later on Monday July 13.

The prize will be a place in the Championship for the 2020/21 season.

Earlier this week League One sides voted to end the season amid Covid-19.

Promotion and relegation were retained with spots decided on a points-per-game (PPG) basis.

Coventry City were crowned champions after having a five point lead at the top of the table and a game in hand when play was halted in March.

They will now ply their trade in the English second tier alongside Rotherham who narrowly finished above Wycombe in second place on PPG.

Tranmere Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Southend United were all relegated into League Two.

Third-placed Wycombe will have to settle for a play-off semi-final against Joey Barton’s Fleetwood Town.

Oxford and Portsmouth could not be split after PPG calculations and both finished on 75.43.

They will do battle over two legs for a place in the final and a shot at promotion at the end of a curtailed season.
