Wikipedia - EFL League One

The English Football League One, known as Sky Bet League One for sponsorship purposes or simply League One in England, is the second-highest division of the English Football League and the third-tier overall in the English football league system.

Introduced in the 2004–05 English football season as Football League One, it is a rebrand of the former Football League Second Division, which itself is a rebrand of the now-defunct Football League Third Division before the 1992 launch of the Premier League.

As of the 2023–24 season, Fleetwood Town holds the longest tenure in the division following promotion from League Two at the end of the 2013–14 season. There are eight former Premier League clubs currently competing in this division; Barnsley (1997–98), Blackpool (2010–11), Bolton Wanderers (1995–96, 1997–98, and 2001–12), Charlton Athletic (1998–99 and 2000–07), Derby County (1996–02 and 2007–08), Portsmouth (2003–10), Reading (2006–08 and 2012–13), and Wigan Athletic (2005–13).

England League 1 er den tredje øverste divisjonen i det engelske fotballiga-systemet, etter Premier League og Championship. Divisjonen består av 24 lag, og sesongen varer fra august til mai.

Lagene i League 1 spiller 46 kamper i løpet av en sesong, og de to beste lagene rykker automatisk opp til Championship. Det tredje og fjerde laget på tabellen går videre til sluttspill, der de kjemper om den siste opprykksplassen.

De fire nederste lagene i League 1 rykker ned til League 2, den fjerde øverste divisjonen i England.

Noen av de mest kjente klubbene i League 1 er Ipswich Town, Portsmouth, Sunderland og Charlton Athletic.
