The English Football League Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as Sky Bet Championship and popularly referred to as Championship) is the second division of England’s league system and the premier football competition of the English Football League. Each year, the top two teams move up to the Premier League and the bottom runners-up move down to League One.
The competition in its current format was created in the 2004-05 season, replacing the previous Football League First Division (1992-2004) and formerly Division Two (1892-1992). Championship winners receive the Football League Championship trophy, the same trophy that former First Division champions received before the start of the Premier League in 1992.
Today, Ipswich Town have the longest tenure in the Championship, competing since 2001-02 when they were relegated from the Premier League. The Championship is the second richest football division in the world and the seventh division with the best finances in Europe.
History
In its first season of 2004-05, the Football League Championship announced a total attendance (including postseason) of 9.8 million spectators, which it said was the fourth highest total attendance in European football, behind the FA Premier League (12.88 million), the Spanish League (11.57 million) and the Bundesliga (10.92 million), but surpassing the Italian Serie A (9.77 million) and the French Ligue 1 (8.17 million). The total figures were aided in part by the presence of 24 clubs, compared to 20 clubs in both Serie A and Ligue 1, and 18 in the Bundesliga. An important factor for the success of the competition comes from revenues from television rights.
On 30 September 2009, Coca-Cola announced that it would end its sponsorship agreement with the Football League Championship at the end of the 2009-10 season. On March 16, 2010, RWE npower was announced as the new sponsor of the Football League, and from the start of the 2010-11 Football League season until the end of the 2012-13 season, the football league championship was known as the Npower Championship.
On July 18, 2013, UK bookmaker Sky Bet announced a new five-year contract to sponsor the league.
Format
There are 24 teams in the English Football League Championship. During each season (August to May), each team faces the rest twice, once in their stadium and once in the stadium of their opponents, in a total of 46 matches per team. At the end of each season the top two teams in the standings, plus the playoff winner between the teams in third and sixth place, are promoted to the Premier League and replaced by the three worst teams in the Premier League.
Also, the three teams that finish at the bottom of the table, go down to the English Football League One, and are replaced by the first two teams in the ranking, plus the winner of the playoff that takes place between the teams that are between third and sixth place in that division.
