Not usually. The word playoff has become a valid compound word but play-off is a variant that is still used. Some dictionaries list only the hyphenated form, but include the unhyphenated version in their word lists.

Some sports and other competitions may use the hyphenated form because that is the way they were legally established. Most sports do not.
