EFL History
The English Football League dates back to 1888, making it the oldest league competition in the world.
After the game began to allow professionalism (paying players) in 1885, the first Football League season was played in 1888-89. By 1892, the Second Division was formed by absorbing the 12 teams from the rival Football Alliance.
In 1898, automatic promotion and relegation between the First and Second Divisions was added. This succeeded a system of test matches and/or election of clubs that was used prior.
After World War I, the Third Division started. Initially, this was individual north and south leagues. 1958 saw the expansion of the official Football League setup again. A single, nationwide third tier came to be and a Fourth Division joined the fray. For decades after that, 92 total clubs made up the Football League.
But in the early 1990s, a major shakeup occurred that would change the face of club football forever. The 22 First Division clubs resigned from the Football League, in 1992, creating the Premier League. Promotion and relegation remained the same between the top division and the second (re-named the Football League First Division). In 1995 the EPL contracted to 20 clubs, relegating an extra two teams that season.
Since then, the EFL has consisted of 72 clubs. As of 2024, 68 of these clubs are in England, and the other four are in Wales.
In 2004, the remaining three divisions of the EFL again rebranded, this time to what we know today – the EFL Championship (2), League One (3), and League Two (4).
The bottom two teams of League Two at the end of each season drop to the National League (division five). Wrexham AFC is one of the notable clubs that have recently won promotion back to the EFL.
