We’ve teamed up with the guys at Pastuzos to create a LIMITED edition run of Rabona football shirts 🤝
In 2016, Leicester City won the Premier League. In 2026, they’re in League One. Ten years. Four divisions. And they share a table this season with Bromley, who have never been this high in their entire history.
That’s what League One and League Two actually are. Not just the third and fourth tiers of English football — although yes, confusingly, that’s exactly what they are — but the place where football history gets made and unmade every single season.
We explain everything. Why League One is called League One when it’s actually the third division. Why seventh place can get you promoted in League Two but not League One. Why four clubs go down from League One but only two leave League Two — and why those two don’t just drop a division, they leave the English Football League entirely. How York City spent ten years outside the EFL and finally fought their way back. And what the play-offs at Wembley actually mean to clubs for whom it’s the biggest day in their history.
Twenty-four clubs. Forty-six games each. Three points for a win, one for a draw, and absolutely nothing for losing. From Leicester’s fall to Bromley’s rise, from York’s return to Plymouth’s 101-point title run — this is the part of English football that never gets boring.
