β½ About The Championship
The EFL Championship is Englandβs second-highest football division, sitting just below the Premier League. Known for its intensity and unpredictability, it features 24 teams battling for promotion and survival across a gruelling 46-game season.
London is well represented, with clubs such as Millwall, Queens Park Rangers (QPR), and Charlton Athletic (in recent seasons) among the regulars. The top two teams gain automatic promotion, while the next four compete in the play-offs, culminating in a Wembley Stadium final often dubbed the βrichest game in football.β
