About Us
As the world’s original professional league competition, founded in 1888, the English Football League (EFL) is proud to be the home of some of football’s most iconic moments.
Responsible for administering and regulating the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two, which culminate in the historic end of season Play-Offs, along with the Carabao Cup and the EFL Trophy, the EFL delivers unrivalled jeopardy, authenticity and non-stop entertainment.
With a mission to be recognised as one of the world’s most respected, popular, and successful football competitions, the League now has a stronger reach and appeal than ever before, becoming a home for talent from across the globe and some of the game’s biggest names.
Across the globe, the EFL’s reach is as strong as it has ever been with fixtures available in more than 250 million homes outside the UK and Ireland and across 200 territories worldwide, culminating in a global audience of over 480 million.
Off the pitch our Clubs are embedded in the towns and cities from which they take their names and are the beating hearts of communities across England and Wales. Through their charitable arms, Clubs deliver life-changing work in some of the UK’s most deprived areas, positively impacting the lives of the more than 1.1 million people that engage with them each season. Allowing people to come together in times of celebration, but also unite through adversity, they are making a tangible impact.
