2021–22 English Football League
2026-11-15 01:33:09 · The Daily Ledger
The 2021–22 season was the 123rd season of the English Football League (EFL) and the sixth season under that name after it was renamed from The Football League in 2016. For the ninth season running, the league was sponsored by Sky Betting & Gaming and therefore known as the Sky Bet EFL.
The EFL is contested through three divisions: the Championship, League One and League Two. The winner and the runner up of the Championship are automatically promoted to the Premier League and they are joined by the winner of the Championship playoff. The bottom two teams in League Two are relegated to the National League.
The two-year partnership extension between the league and its official charity Mind expired after this season.
