About English Football League Championship
It’s second only to the mighty Premier League, yet the English Football League Championship is one of the most exciting leagues in the world, where level of play is at least as good as some of the leading countries in the world of football. And we haven’t even started talking about the rivalries and the intensity of play.
Let’s take a look at the list of some clubs that will grace the Championship during the 2018-19 season: Aston Villa (7 times First Division champions, 7 times FA Cup holders and a European Cup holders) Blackburn Rovers (2 times First Division/Premier League champions, 5 times FA Cup holders, UEFA Intertoto Cup holders) Bolton Wanderers (4 times FA Cup holders) Derby County (2 times First Division champions, FA Cup holders) Ipswich Town (First Division champions, FA Cup holders, UEFA Cup holders) Leeds United (3 times First division champions, FA Cup holders) Nottingham Forest (First Division champions, 2 times FA Cup holders, 2 times European Cup holders, UEFA Super Cup holders) Sheffield United (First Division champions, 4 times FA Cup holders) Sheffield Wednesday (3 times FA Cup holders).
Well, now, the picture is bright and clear. And so is the level of play and the competition.
The Championship (AKA English Football League Championship, or EFL Championship) was born in 2004, a matter of commercial need. The establishment of the Premier League in 1992 has excluded it from the Football Association system and placed it on a plateau by its own. Suddenly, there was the Premier League, which has established itself as the most exciting league in the world – professionally and economically – and all the rest. The old Second Division turned into just another division among the rest. Prior to the 2004-05 season, out of a commercial need, the First Division of old was re-named the Championship, a move which has set it aside from the new League One and League Two. And the Championship has never looked back.
During the course of a season, 24 teams battle each other in order to get promoted to the Premier League on one hand, and to avoid relegation to League One on the other. The clubs that finish the regular season first and second get promoted automatically, while the clubs which finished the season 3-6 battle it out in an exciting playoff and the winner – the final is being played in Wembley Stadium in front of 90,000 spectators – also join the Premier League. The bottom three clubs get relegated to League One.
In all, Championship matches represent the best English football has to offer: some big-time clubs fallen on hard times, playing in some of the most famous football stadia in the world, with loyal, supportive followers, and offer a unique and exciting experience of football.
