Football League One (often referred to as League One for short or Sky Bet League 1) is the second-highest division of the Football League and the third tier in the English football league system.
Football League One was introduced for the 2004–05 season. It was previously known as the Football League Second Division and prior to the advent of the Premier League, the Football League Third Division.
At present (2014–15 season), Oldham Athletic
hold the longest tenure in League One, last being out of the division
in the 1996–97 season when they were relegated from the Championship.
There are currently six former Premier League clubs competing in the League One, namely Barnsley F.C., Bradford City, Coventry City, Oldham Athletic, Sheffield United and Swindon Town.
The 2014–15 Football League One (referred to as the Sky Bet League One for sponsorship reasons) is the eleventh season of the Football League Championship
under its current title and the twenty-second season under its current
league division format. The season is set to begin on 9 August 2014.
There are 24 clubs in Football League One.
At the end of the season a table of the final League standings is
determined, based on the following criteria in this order: points
obtained, goal difference, goals scored, an aggregate of the results between two or more clubs (ranked using the previous three criteria) and, finally, a series of one or more play-off matches.
At the end of each season the top two clubs, together with the winner of the play-offs between the clubs which finished in 3rd–6th position, are promoted to Football League Championship and are replaced by the three clubs that finished at the bottom of that division.
Similarly, the four clubs that finished at the bottom of Football League One are relegated to Football League Two and are replaced by the top three clubs and the club that won the 4th–7th place play-offs in that division.
