Fans won’t be able attend the game but the National League have reached an agreement with BT Sport and Sportradar to broadcast all 10 of the games in the North and South play-offs.

Precise details have yet to be announced and it’s likely fans will have to pay to watch the streaming service.

National League chief exec Michael Tattersall said: “Due to matches being played behind closed doors, confirming a broadcast solution for fans has been an important part of our play-offs preparation.

“This pioneering streaming service will create an opportunity for exposure of the competition on a global stage.

“We would like to thank existing partners BT Sport and Sportradar for their support during this process.

“The announcement adds to the already growing excitement that play-off action brings.

“To ensure a safe environment for National League play-off matches to be played in, we urge supporters to not congregate at the grounds”.

With the play-offs taking place, it means Ebbsfleet United will be relegated from the National League. They have issued a statement saying they won’t make a legal challenge to that decision.

Dartford warmed up for their eliminator with a friendly match on Saturday against Boreham Wood.

Havant & Waterlooville will play the winner of Dartford and Slough in the semi-final, to be played on Saturday, July 25 (3pm). The winner of that match will progress to the final on Saturday, August 1 (3pm).

Bath City play Dorking Wanderers in the other eliminator with Weymouth meeting the winners in the other semi-final.
