Football League One
|
Football League One (often referred to as League One for short or Coca-Cola Football League 1 for sponsorship reasons) is the second-highest division of The Football League and third-highest division overall in the English football league system.
Structure
There are 24 teams in Football League One. Each team plays each of the other teams twice (once at home, once away) and are awarded three points for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. From these points a league table is constructed. At the end of each season the top two teams, together with the winner of the play-offs between the teams which finished in 3rd–6th position, are promoted to the Football League Championship and are replaced by the three teams which finished at the bottom of that division. Similarly the four teams that finished at the bottom of Football League One are relegated to Football League Two and are replaced by the teams which finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd and won the 4th–7th place play-off in that division.
Final League position is determined, in this order, by points obtained, goal difference, goals scored, a mini-league of the results between two or more teams ranked using the previous three criteria and finally a series of one or more play off matches.
History
Football League One was introduced for the 2004-2005 season. It replaced the Football League Second Division.
