The Football League

The Football League, now known as the English Football League (EFL), is a professional organization that manages football competitions below the Premier League in England. It consists of three divisions: the Championship, League One, and League Two. Teams in these divisions compete seasonally, with the top teams earning promotion to higher divisions and the lowest-performing teams facing relegation to lower tiers. The league operates a structured system of promotion and relegation, creating a dynamic competitive environment that maintains interest at all levels of English football. The EFL plays a key role in developing clubs and players across the country.
