The schedule for the 2016 J2/J3 Promotion-Relegation Playoff has been determined following the conclusion of both leagues’ regular seasons.
The home-and-away series will feature Zweigen Kanazawa, who finished 21st in the 2016 MEIJI YASUDA J2 League, and Tochigi SC, who finished second in the 2016 MEIJI YASUDA J3 League.
