History of League 2
League Two was created in 2004, when the Football League was restructured. It replaced the old Third Division, which had been the fourth tier of the English football league system since 1920.

The top two clubs in League Two are automatically promoted to League One at the end of the season. The third-placed club goes into a play-off with the fourth-placed club from League One, and the winner of that play-off also goes up to League One.
The bottom four clubs in League Two are relegated to National League at the end of the season.
