The Football League Championship (often referred to as the Championship for short, or the Sky Bet Championship for sponsorship reasons) is the second-highest division overall in the English football league system after the Premier League.
Each year, the top finishing teams in the Championship are promoted to
the Premier League, and the lowest finishing teams are relegated.
The Football League Championship, which was introduced for the 2004–05 season, was previously known as the Football League First Division
(1992–2004), and before that was known as Division Two (1892–1992). The
winners of the Championship receive the Football League Championship
trophy, the same trophy as the old First Division champions were handed
prior to the Premier League's inception in 1992.
The 2014–15 Football League Championship (referred to as the Sky Bet Championship for sponsorship reasons) is the eleventh season of the Football League Championship
under its current title and the twenty-third season under its current
league division format. The season began on 8 August 2014.
