League One is the 3rd tier in the English football league pyramid.

24 teams play in the league. The team that finishes top of the league at the end of the season is league champion and is promoted to the Championship along with the team that finishes as runner-up. 3rd to 6th position clubs play in a play off, with 3rd playing 6th and 4th playing 5th in a two legged semi final round. The winner of each semi final goes onto a final played at Wembley Stadium, with the winner of that game promoted to the Championship.

The teams which finish in the bottom four positions in the league are relegated to League Two.
