The 2016 Football League Two play-off Final was a football match contested between AFC Wimbledon and Plymouth Argyle. The match was played at Wembley Stadium on 30 May 2016. The winner, AFC Wimbledon, was promoted to League One.[2][3]

This was Wimbledon's second national playoff final win in five years. They had won the Conference National (now National League) playoff final in 2011 over Luton, but the match had to be played at the City of Manchester Stadium due to the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final taking place at Wembley.
