# Dates confirmed for Virslīga promotion play-off between Tukums 2000 and Valmiera FC
**FK Tukums 2000 and Valmiera FC will meet in a two-legged promotion/relegation play-off to determine the final participant in the 2027 Latvian Virslīga season. The Latvian Football Federation (LFF) confirmed on Monday that the first leg will take place in Tukums on 11 November, followed by the return fixture in Valmiera on 14 November.**

Tukums 2000, who finished ninth in the 2026 Virslīga standings, will host the opening match at Tukuma City Stadium on Wednesday, 11 November, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00.

The decisive return leg will take place three days later, on Saturday, 14 November, at Jāņa Daliņa Stadium in Valmiera, starting at 13:00. Both matches will be broadcast live on futbols.tv.

Valmiera earned their place in the play-offs after finishing second in the LVBET League, securing the runners-up position with a 3-2 home victory over Skanste in the final round.

The two clubs have contrasting recent histories in Latvia’s top division. Tukums 2000 have competed in the Virslīga continuously since 2022 and will be looking to preserve their top-flight status for another season.

Meanwhile, Valmiera are hoping to return to the Virslīga after a two-year absence. The club last competed in the top flight in 2024, having previously celebrated a historic Latvian championship title in 2022.

The winner of the two-legged tie will secure a place in the 2027 Virslīga season, while the losing side will compete in Latvia’s second tier next year.
