Organization

English Football League

The English Football League (EFL) is the governing body and competition organizer for the three professional divisions below the Premier League in English football—the Championship, League One, and League Two. It is best known for running those divisions, managing promotion and relegation with the Premier League, and staging the EFL Cup and EFL Trophy competitions. It remains central to current public discourse due to ongoing debates over financial sustainability, broadcasting rights, fixture scheduling, and potential reforms to the English football pyramid.
