What is the Football League?

Established in 1888 as the Football League, this competition holds the distinction of being the oldest league in associated football.

Currently encompassing 72 teams across three divisions, with 24 teams in each league, it constitutes the second, third, and fourth tiers of English football. Division 1 was the top tier in England until 1992 when it underwent a transformative split after the top 22 clubs formed the Premier League.
