It was not until the early years of the 20th century, and the expansion of both Leagues to 20 clubs (in 1905), that further southern clubs such as Chelsea and Clapton Orient (later Leyton Orient) (1905), Fulham (1907) and Tottenham Hotspur (1908) established themselves in the League. There would be a further wait until 1931 before a southern club, Arsenal would win the League for the first time. Unlike in most other Leagues in Europe, no single English club managed to remain ever-present in the division during the one hundred and four years of its existence as the top division in the country. Everton comes closest, missing just four seasons through relegation, and remains one of only three clubs in England to have played over 100 top-flight seasons, along with Aston Villa and Arsenal. Arsenal are also the longest serving member of the first division, present since 1919.

1986–87 was the first season of the decade where Football League attendances increased, helped by improved economic conditions and falling unemployment nationally. At the same time, automatic promotion and relegation between the Fourth Division and the Football Conference were introduced for one club, replacing the annual application for re-election to the League of the bottom four clubs and linking the League to the developing National League System pyramid.
Failure to do either of these will result in a second, potentially unlimited (though in practice usually between 15 and 20) points deduction. The other main situation in which is a club may lose points is by fielding an improperly registered or otherwise ineligible player. If a club is found to have done this, then any points earned from any match that player participated in will be deducted; the opposing club(s) do not earn any points from this, however. Cup[edit] The EFL organises two knock-out cup competitions: the EFL Cup (officially called the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons) and the EFL Trophy (officially called the Papa John's Trophy also for sponsorship reasons). The EFL Cup was established in 1960 and is open to all EFL and Premier League clubs, with the winner eligible to participate in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Titles by club[edit] Due to the breakaway of the Premier League in 1992, winning the Football League title no longer makes a team the top tier champions of English football.

Team First tier Second tier Third tier Fourth tier Total Titles 10, 000 Play-offs[edit] The Football League Play-offs are used as a means of determining the final promotion place from each of the league's three divisions. This is a way of keeping the possibility of promotion open for more clubs towards the end of the season. The format was first introduced in 1987, after the decision was made to reduce the top flight from 22 to 20 clubs over the next two seasons; initially, the play-offs involved the team finishing immediately above the relegation places in a given division and the three teams who finished immediately below the promotion places in the division below – essentially one team was fighting to keep their place in the higher division while the other three teams were attempting to take it from them.

2004 Football League rebranding[edit] 2004–05 was the first season to feature the rebranded Football League. The First Division, Second Division and Third Division were renamed the Football League Championship, Football League One, and Football League Two respectively. Coca-Cola replaced the Nationwide Building Society as title sponsor.
The clubs were placed in the new Third Division: Third Division champions 29 1920–21 Birmingham Crystal Palace 1921–1958[edit] After just one season under the old format, the League expanded again. This time it admitted a number of clubs from the north of England to balance things out, as the last expansion brought mainly clubs from the south. The existing Third Division was renamed the Third Division South, and the new division was named the Third Division North. Grimsby Town transferred to the new northern division. Both divisions ran in parallel, with clubs from both Third Divisions being promoted to the national Second Division at the end of each season: Third Division (North) champions Third Division (South) champions 30 1921–22 Stockport County Southampton 31 1922–23 Nelson 32 1923–24 Huddersfield Town Leeds United Wolverhampton Wanderers Portsmouth 33 1924–25 Leicester City Darlington Swansea Town 34 1925–26 Reading 35 1926–27 Middlesbrough Stoke City 36 1927–28 Bradford Park Avenue Millwall 37 1928–29 Charlton Athletic 38 1929–30 Sheffield Wednesday Blackpool Port Vale Plymouth Argyle 39 1930–31 Arsenal Chesterfield 40 1931–32 Lincoln City Fulham 41 1932–33 Hull City Brentford 42 1933–34 Barnsley Norwich City 43 1934–35 Doncaster Rovers 44 1935–36 Coventry City 45 1936–37 Luton Town 46 1937–38 Tranmere Rovers 47 1938–39 Newport County 48 1939–40 League aborted due to World War II 1940–46 League suspended due to World War II 49 1946–47 Cardiff City 50 1947–48 Birmingham City Queens Park Rangers 51 1948–49 52 1949–50 53 1950–51 Rotherham United 54 1951–52 55 1952–53 Oldham Athletic Bristol Rovers 56 1953–54 Ipswich Town 57 1954–55 Chelsea 58 1955–56 Leyton Orient 59 1956–57 60 1957–58 West Ham United Scunthorpe United Brighton & Hove Albion 1958–1992[edit] For the beginning of the 1958–59 season, national Third and Fourth Divisions were introduced to replace the regional Third Division North and Third Division South: Fourth Division champions 61 1958–59 62 1959–60 Walsall 63 1960–61 Peterborough United 64 1961–62 65 1962–63 Northampton Town 66 1963–64 Gillingham 67 1964–65 Carlisle United 68 1965–66 69 1966–67 70 1967–68 Oxford United 71 1968–69 Watford 72 1969–70 73 1970–71 74 1971–72 75 1972–73 Southport 76 1973–74 77 1974–75 Mansfield Town 78 1975–76 Hereford United 79 1976–77 Cambridge United 80 1977–78 Wrexham 81 1978–79 Shrewsbury Town 82 1979–80 83 1980–81 Southend United 84 1981–82 85 1982–83 Wimbledon 86 1983–84 York City 87 1984–85 88 1985–86 Swindon Town 89 1986–87 AFC Bournemouth 90 1987–88 91 1988–89 92 1989–90 Exeter City 93 1990–91 94 1991–92 1992–2004[edit] Following the breakaway of the 22 clubs in the First Division to form the FA Premier League, the Football League no longer included the top division in England, and the Football League champions were no longer the national champions of England.
Emblematic of the confusion that was beginning to envelop the game, the number of clubs at the top of the league would return to 22 for the 1991–92 season, which increased competitiveness in the 1990–91 season as four teams would be promoted from the Second and Third Divisions instead of the normal three (with the seventh-place being the minimum position for the playoffs), while in the Fourth Division an unprecedented five promotion places were up for grabs, with the eighth-place being high enough for the playoffs. The end of the ban on English clubs in Europe also helped boost interest in English football.

The bottom clubs of the lower division were subsequently required to apply for re-election to the League at the end of each season.
