Championship Football
The Championship is a competition featuring many iconic names that have fallen on hard times and who have dropped out of the Premier League. These teams are still capable of drawing some of the biggest crowds in Europe and producing some of the best talent in Britain.
On the other side you also have a number of smaller club who are working their way up the football pyramid and whilst they may not have the finances of the top clubs, they are often capable of pulling of shocks.
Originally known as Division 2 between 1892-1992 and then the First Division with the formation of the Premier League in 1992, the league changes name once again in 2004 when it became the Championship.
Despite those changes, the league continues to go from strength to strength and can now match the biggest leagues in Europe form attendance figures, wages, transfer fees and in quality.
The EFL Championship features 24 teams of which the top 2 are automatically promoted to the Premier League at the end of the season. The teams finishing 3-6th in the table qualify for the play-offs, with the winner also promoted. The teams that are unfortunate enough to finish in the bottom 3 are relegated to League One, with 3 teams promoted from that league.
With so much on the line at both the top and bottom of the table it is no surprise that the league is competitive from the team at the top to the team at the bottom but what really makes the EFL Championship stand out is the closeness of the league.
Teams in the mid-table are often just as close to the relegation zone as they are to the play offs, which makes each and every match simply a must win no matter where you are in the table.
With each team fighting for each and every competition point, each round of the Championship is almost like the 3rd round of the FA Cup, where the underdog can have its chance to take on defeat a much bigger side.
No result in the Championship is every really a surprise, even if the bottom of the table side goes to the home of the team at the top and comes away with the 3 points.
With so much entertainment on offer and with so many teams having large fanbases, the great news not just for fans of the teams involved but for football fans in general is that you can watch many of the games form the league live online via our EFL Championship live streaming partners.

Smaller teams can mic it with giants of the English game and with teams based throughout the UK, from the south west to the north east and from the midlands to London, teams and fans are spread throughout England and Wales.

For many it is the play-offs that makes the competition so incredibly exciting as teams that would likely have nothing to play for towards the end of the season have it all to play for and when you add in relegation, the Championship is a competition where you have to be at your very best from 1 game to the next throughout the whole season with no chance of enjoying mid-table mediocracy and safety.
Due to the huge attendances enjoyed in the competition, the interest in the league and the money that any of the clubs spend on bringing in internationals from across the globe, the football Championship is often thought of as Europe’s 5th biggest league- behind the Premier League, the Bundesliga (Germany), La Liga (Spain) and Serie A (Italy).
