We look at the latest list of promotions and relegations and playoff confirmations within the EFL and non league on the 22nd of April 2023.
In the EFL, going into today, Burnley knew they could have wrapped up Championship title with home win against QPR.
Wigan knew they would be relegated from Championship if they lose to Millwall.
Blackpool knew they would face drop if they fail to win and results go against them.
Rochdale knew they must beat Stockport to stand any chance of avoiding relegation.
Leyton Orient knew they will win title if they beat Crewe and Stevenage fail to win.
So how did it play out?
The full time whistle blew at Brisbane Road, and it’s a magnificent 2-0 win for Richie Wellens’ Leyton Orient who go up as champions.
Second-half goals from Moncur and Kelman do it. Cue scenes…

Meanwhile, Rochdale have lost their place in League Two after Crawley won 2-0 at Hartlepool, meaning the latter are all but down.
Rochdale’s 102 year stay in the Football League ended with a defeat at Edgeley Park against Stockport County, who are chasing promotion.
Dale had to win in order to have any hope of staying in League Two for next season. They also needed Crawley Town to lose to Hartlepool United, their relegation opponents.
Rochdale gave in under home pressure after Tanto Olaofe scored deep into the first-half injury period.
The away side, who have now lost 26 out of 44 matches this season, managed only one shot on goal throughout the game. This win for Stockport puts them just a point behind Stevenage for third place in the automatic places, despite having played an extra match.
The chances of bringing their league win total to nine never seemed likely, as their sole attempt on goal before the half was a curling Danny Lloyd effort that drifted far and wide.
County created many opportunities in the opening half. Paddy Madden was one of them. Myles Hippolyte and Fraser Horsfall were also close.
Stockport, despite taking the lead with Olaofe’s individual goal, saw their chances dry up in the second period. However, they didn’t need the assurance of a second goal.
Rochdale with their fans after relegation to the National League is confirmed with a 26th league defeat of the season here. #bbcefl pic.twitter.com/8YNccpjIfc
