List of winners of the EFL Championship and predecessors

A national second tier of English league football was established in 1892–93, at the demise of Football Alliance, as the Second Division. In 1992, with the departure of the then First Division clubs to become the Premier League, the second tier became known as the First Division. In 2004 it was re-branded as the Football League Championship before it was renamed the EFL Championship in 2016.
