The 2020 EFL League One play-off final was a football match contested between Wycombe Wanderers and Oxford United to determine the third and final team to gain promotion from EFL League One to the EFL Championship. It was played on 13 July 2020 at Wembley Stadium in London. The top two teams of the 2019–20 EFL League One season (Coventry City and Rotherham United) gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from third to sixth place in the table took part in play-off semi-finals and the winners of these semi-finals competed for the final place in the Championship. The match was played behind closed doors to comply with restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.
Wycombe took the lead early in the first half with a goal from Anthony Stewart before Mark Sykes equalised for Oxford 12 minutes into the second half. Joe Jacobson then converted a penalty with eleven minutes remaining, and Wycombe held on to win the match 2–1. By securing promotion to the Championship for the next season, Wycombe Wanderers would play at the second tier of English football for the first time in the 133-year history of the club.
